ANOTHER WAR YEARS VET PASSES.

Just heard today at FDNY Orange County Retired Firefighters meeting that Deputy Chief James "Jimmy" Murtagh, who at one time was the Chief of Training for the FDNY. died about a week ago, in the state of Florida. Jimmy was a firefighter in L-17-2 and rose rapidly in the ranks of FDNY in just a few years to FDNY Assistant Chief/Chief of Training. A college professor and head of the Fire Science Department of the Rockland Community College. Jimmy was a mentor to myself and alot of other Fire Science Students and truly a friend to many of us. Truly One of the great minds in the FDNY. "Rest in Peace Brother."
Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired.
