 Presented by District Chief John Sullivan, Worcester Fire Department

 

This presentation will take an in-depth look at the circumstances surrounding this multiple line-of-duty death incident from the perspective of the company officer. District Chief John Sullivan will guide the presentation using his personal experiences from the Worcester Cold Storage fire as a line officer (then a lieutenant). Sullivan led multiple search-and-rescue attempts into the building and subsequently lost two crew members to the inferno.

This first-hand account provides critical insight into the event and emphasizes the "lessons learned" aspects of analysis and commentary on the effect of the event. The Worcester Fire Department is resolute in its mission to ensure that the same fate never befalls another department for lack of insight.
