Fallen New Haven firefighter died a hero

Fallen New Haven firefighter died a hero     NEW HAVEN, Connecticut (WFSB) The city of New Haven is remembering a hero. Ricardo Torres Jr., a firefighter who lost his life while battling a fire early Wednesday morning, always wanted to be a firefighter, according to those who knew him. “Today, we lost one of our own Ricardo Torres who was doing the job he always dreamed of doing,” said Patrick Cannon, IAFF Local 825. An emotional news conference on Wednesday afternoon began with a prayer. Hours earlier, the firehouse fought alongside Torres. They later hung a bunting in his memory. To the world, he was Ricardo Torres, but he went by “Rico” in his inner circle.

Community Continues to Support New Haven Firefighters

And add to that, they’ve endured a stressful year of pandemic response too. “It’s a testament to the fire department and the city employees that we have that even in this time of tragedy, they get up, come to work to keep people safe,” said New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker. “They’re human before they assume a badge and their human during and they’re human after,” said Phyllis DiGioia, owner and executive director of Honor Wellness Center in Manchester. One firefighter was killed in a fire in New Haven on Wednesday, another is in the hospital. The mayor is thanking people for how they have been coming foreward to support the department.
