All,

Today is January 23, 2026, an important fire service date "we must know."

January 23, 2005, was “Black Sunday” in New York when FDNY Lt. Curtis W. Meyran (covering Ladder 27 that day) and FF John G. Bellew (Ladder 27) died in the Line of Duty at an apartment fire in the Bronx. Four other FF’s were injured: Jeffrey Cool (Rescue 3), the late Lt. Joseph DiBernardo**-Rescue 3 (whose later death is Line of Duty-see below), Brendan Cawley (Ladder 27), and Eugene Stolowski (Ladder 27). All 6 FF’s were forced to jump from the 4th floor of the apartment building as they were trapped by the fire.

And no less important, additionally, at a separate fire in Brooklyn that same day, just 3 hours after the Bronx fire, Brooklyn FF Richard T. Sclafani (Ladder 103) was killed in the Line of Duty after getting trapped in the basement while operating at a residential fire. Details below.

HERE are links to reports, videos, and articles as we remember those who were injured and killed in the Line of Duty that day.

PLEASE check out each one of these links.

ATTEND & LEARN FROM THE BEST: THE JOEY DIBERNARDO SEMINAR SERIES:

Following the loss of these brave men, the Lt. Joseph P. DiBernardo Memorial Foundation was founded by his Dad, Deputy Chief Joseph DiBernardo Sr, (Retired) Commander-FDNY 6th Division-Bronx/Harlem, FDNY along with numerous family and friends.

The Lt. Joseph P. DiBernardo Memorial Foundation believes that firefighters can’t save lives if they can’t save themselves. Too often firefighters become trapped unexpectedly due to collapse, flashover, backdraft or more and need to get out FAST. Sometimes the only way out is a window. Their organization knows this all too well – founded by people directly impacted by the FDNY “Black Sunday” Bronx fire where 3 firefighters lost their lives, and 3 suffered life-changing injuries – all because they had no way out but a 5th-story window.

Please Check Out their mission and their outstanding annual Firefighter training seminars in Texas and Long Island.

“Chief D” tirelessly works full-time in his retirement years to save the lives of other firefighters through a foundation set up in his son’s honor. Take time now to plan their excellent seminar in 2026.

DEA Board Officers, fellow Detectives, and cops of all ranks lined the street where Detective Troy Patterson was shot and severely injured 36 years ago. Though Troy succumbed to his injuries on April 29, 2024, today we renewed the solemn vow to our hero and his family.
