1941 LODD Brockton Mass.

On this date in 1941 13 members of the Brockton Mass Fire Department made the supreme sacrafice. They were killed while operating at the Strand Theater. Members were operating in the balcony when the roof collapsed on them.

CONTINUED REST IN PEACE TO THEM.

Another beauty of this site.  Seventy-eight years later and the words "Never Forget" are shown to still have full meaning.

Indeed, continued peaceful rest.  And thank you for reminding us, Grumpy.

13 members of the Brockton, Mass Fire Dept. A huge loss for any department. May they Rest in Peace and they haven't been forgotten.
