Today, on the 25th anniversary of the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse fire, The Faces of Worcester would like to honor six extraordinary men who embodied the very heart of 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦.

On December 3, 1999, firefighters Paul Brotherton, Timothy Jackson, James Lyons III, Jeremiah Lucey, Joseph McGuirk, and Thomas Spencer made the ultimate sacrifice while courageously attempting to save lives during a devastating fire. In the face of danger, these six heroes answered the call without hesitation, driven by their commitment to protect and serve the people of Worcester.

Their loss was not just felt by their families and fellow firefighters, but by the entire Worcester community. Their legacy lives on as a reminder of the selflessness, bravery, and dedication that defines true heroes.

On this solemn day, we extend our deepest gratitude not only to the Worcester 6, but to all first responders who put their lives on the line to keep our community safe. Your courage and sacrifices do not go unnoticed.

To the families and loved ones of these six remarkable men, we stand with you in remembrance and gratitude.
