Last night was the 56th Anniversary of the Adelphi Street fire and rescue which saw Lieutenant James Geraghty and Fireman Albert Orokos fall into the cellar of 442 Adelphi Street. Unable to self evacuate from the cellar, Lieutenant Rickard Hamilton and Fireman William Polera of Rescue 2 descended into the cellar and rescued both men from the blaze.
At the time it was hailed as "The Rescue" and for those who were there or on the job at that time, it was certainly unforgettable.
The four participants are gone now and may they forever Rest in Peace.
Never Forget!
