Today the FDNY remembers four brave members who made the Supreme Sacrifice as a result of two separate fires, 15 years ago today, a day that has come to be known within the Department as “Black Sunday.” On January 23, 2005, six Firefighters were battling a 3-alarm fire in a four-story apartment building in the Bronx. While searching the fourth floor of the building for occupants who were believed to be trapped, the fire and extreme heat rapidly intensified, trapping the Firef...ighters and subsequently forcing them to jump from the fourth floor window to the ground below. As a result, they all suffered critical, life-threatening injuries. Lt. Curtis Meyran of Battalion 26 and Lt. John Bellew of Ladder 27 died that day from their injuries; and Lt. Joseph DiBernardo of Rescue 3 endured multiple surgical procedures before his death on November 22, 2011. In a separate incident that day, Firefighter Richard T. Sclafani of Ladder 103 died while fighting a fire in Brooklyn. Firefighter Sclafani and members of Ladder 103 were among the first firefighters to arrive on the scene of a basement fire in a two-story private dwelling, and they immediately began searching both for the location of the fire and any trapped occupants. During these search operations, Firefighter Sclafani became separated from his company. He was found, minutes later, unconscious and in respiratory arrest on the cellar staircase. He succumbed to his injuries that day. ... See MoreSee Less

Any decision on where the door from old quarters will end up? It needs to be preserved.

Looking good Brooklyn

Best of luck with the new firehouse.Please take the bay door with you.

Had the pleasure of riding with the crew of R2 a few times thanks to my buddy Lt Lund. I miss him. God bless all the RES2CUE brothers and good luck at the new quarters.

I can only imagine the stories, memories, jobs and incredible firefighters who make-up the history of that house. Respect to all. Safety and success in your new quarters Rescue 2!

I spent 18 years of my almost 30 year career in this building. I have had many good days and many bad days here also. I have worked with some of the absolute best firemen ever and a good amount of them have also called this building home. I will NEVER forget.

Omg. I can’t wait to see the new place. All you guys deserve a new fresh place. You all work sooo hard every day and night. You get multiple fires every single day. I used to run on a engine and I caught a fire maybe once or twice a week but damm I couldn’t imagine every shift getting multiple fires. I have unbelievable amount of respect for you all. God bless.

have a safe shift and I hope the new home is what you guys need

Back in the 90’s I visited this house. Was treated with respect and the crew was outstanding to talk to. Good luck in your new home

Good luck to the new fire house and one that brings a lot of joy to all of you. That you can enjoy for many, many years. A big hug from this Portuguese Firefighter

All the best in the new house to all of you...stay safe.🎄🎄🎄

Bittersweet, I'm sure. Best wishes for good happenings in your new quarters, and safe operations, always.

I remember reading the book about you guys “last men out” great read after 9/11 and it still brings chills to me reading it now

Such a sad day for many. So many memories from this great house! Some sad and some happy! Good luck in the new house but it can never beat Bergen street

All good thoughts and wishes to Rescue 2 on relocating to the new quarters. Lots of memories from Bergen Street, more to come from Sterling Place. Stay safe guys! God Bless! xoxo

Good luck with your new fire station. I managed to have a brief visit last year to see this amazing building. It was close to midnight and got to take a photo of history. Unfortunately we drove on and as we were they got a shout aka run in the opposite direction. Best wishes from the UK. 🙂

All the Best in the new house. Thank you for letting me know my brothers home away from home and always making us welcomed. ❤️❤️

Lots of history in that House, sad to see it go. What is a House but a place where family grows. Lots of memories were made there for you guys and many a great firemen were blessed to have served together. A house is only temporary; but family, Brothers they last forever. Congratulations on your new station and here is to the new memories and Brothers that continue the legacy.

Congrats to all of you at Rescue 2. So much history and tradition in the old station.

Had a chance several years ago to tour the firehouse. I met Rocky up here in Lynnfield, MA and I made a trip with several others, to NY. I also left behind with the officer that day a few small die-cast vehicles of R2. Good luck with your new place. Stay safe.

Good luck at your new house , stay safe!

Congratulations guys on your new house! Be safe!

Please tell me that garage door is being saved somewhere. Good luck in the new house.

Many great memories at that house.

Congrats! So many memories! Cannot wait to see the inside of the new firehouse. Be wishes!❤

Good luck at your new location. Stay Safe and Sound to all who are working on Rescue 2, and the rest of NYFD.

Best of Luck! Keep the memories with you all in your ❤️!

What a shame, but the blood, sweat tears and stories will remain, as will the job. God Bless all the heroes past and present. Good luck in your new QTRS, and stay safe.

Lot of memories there I am sure. You deserve a new house. Been following Rescue 2 ever since I read 20,000 Alarms back in 1980, my first year as a volunteer.

Terrible to see them leave Bergen St but the history and pride of the company will always continue wherever Rescue 2 goes

One of the most fascinating Rescue Houses, I have ever been to! So much history, knowledge and atmosphere in that place. Best of luck to all of you with your new home 😉🚒💨 🇩🇰🇩🇰

Lots of History made there, God Bless, my Brothers and Sisters, enjoy your new quarters... T-roy

Omg. That’s awesome. Soooo happy for you all.

Why close the house? Company members should buy it and turn it into a private meeting hall.

Many many memories made in this ole firehouse! Great history was made here from day 1. One of the last of these grand ole firehouse will be missed.

A huge part of my heart is in this firehouse! <3

Would be nice to see this grand firehouse restored. But probably to old and money would be an issue.

I grew up in that house! Best of luck in your new home away from home! Cannot wait to check out the new house. Be safe guys!❤

I’m from Chile, and I had the privilege of visiting your house last June. ✌🏻✌🏻

Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. Best wishes from St. Louis Engine 32

What a great history at this firehouse...a was there in september for 9/11. You bring the smal R2 firehouse scale 1/64 i made few year ago

Any pics of the new res2cue quarters inside out?

Best of luck in the new house !

Where is the new one?

Hello ! Avez-vous prévu un petit live que l'on en profite ?

Best of the FDNY

I will never forget my neighbor Peter C. Martin 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The Wonder Drugs on East 23rd St New York, NY a mercantile building fire killed twelve firefighters at 9:36 p.m. E-18 and L-7 responded to fire in the store’s basement. A five-inch insulated concrete floor collapsed sending ten men into the inferno, two were killed when a fire ball exploded from the basement. “A raging fire in the basement of a four-story brick loft building, caused the first floor to collapse, pitching most of the firefighters who were operating there into the roaring inferno. The ensuing collapse of the upper floors made immediate rescue attempts impossible. Many firefighters had close brushes with death that night and many heroic rescues were made. Several firefighters were seriously injured, but 12 died in the collapse. The fire went to five alarms.” “A lengthy inquiry showed that a cellar wall had been moved, leaving the drugstore’s five-inch-thick terrazzo floor unsupported and vulnerable to collapse.”

Rest in Peace my Brothers in Arms

Yeah, remember reading an article years ago on this in Firehouse Magazine. Never forget.
