Downtown Buffalo's Electric Tower was lit in purple in honor of Lt. Charles McCarthy of Rescue 1 and FF Jonathan Croom of Ladder 7. Both firefighters died in the line of duty on August 24, 2009. May the Lord watch over them and their family and friends they leave behind. You will be forever in our hearts.

Waldfest 2009
Spring Garden Park on Two Rod Road in Marilla, NY was the setting of the annual German "festival in the trees". Food, drink, dancing and traditional German music filled the valley along with hundreds of happy festival goers.

I was shocked to read this news story of a Columbus FF who shot and killed his two dogs in order to avoid paying for boarding them while he went on a vacation. He tied them to a pipe in order to shoot them in his basement. Anyone who has owned a dog will understand that those dogs probably went willingly with him because they trusted him.
He even had the nerve to brag to his co workers about what he had done!

Fireboat Edward M. Cotter at work
With the large fire June 12, 2009 at 364 Baraga Street I was finally lucky enough to get some photos of Buffalo's fireboat, the Edward M. Cotter at work. She is the oldest active fireboat in the country and is listed as a National Historic Landmark. For more information and history of her, check out the Cotter's webpage and this article from the magazine "Sea Classics", written by Sam Guadagna.

Congratulations to Battalion Chief Joe Brocato on his retirement! Chief Brocato was a great fireman and will be missed. He would always stop and say hello when I would see him on the fireground, truly a class act all the way! Good luck and enjoy your retirement. Don't forget to stop in at the Museum on Saturdays for lunch!
