Firefighter Brian T. Mitchell, of Ladder Co. 122, received the Chief John J. McElligot Medal and the Firefighters Fitzpatrick and Frisby Award for rescuing a bedridden 78-year-old woman from her home in Park Slope June 22, 2010.
There is no such thing as a regular tour for the New York City Fire Department. This reality was reinforced for members of Ladder 122, including FF Brian T. Mitchell, on June 22, 2010, a day that started the first heat wave of the summer for the City, with temperatures well into
the 90s.
At 1530 hours, the Brooklyn Communications Office transmitted Box 1273, reporting a phone alarm for fire on 10th Street in the Park Slope section of the borough. Ladder 122-- located only a block away on 11th Street--responded quickly.Captain Joseph Parella, covering the day tour, was advised by the Brooklyn dispatchers that there were numerous calls reporting children trapped in the basement and they would be going to work. Captain Parella also was told that Engines 220 and 239 were both delayed, due to heavy traffic conditions.
On arrival, Captain Parella transmitted a 10-75 for a fire in the basement of a four-story brownstone attached on both sides. As members started disembarking the apparatus, FF Mitchell was summoned by a frantic civilian, who stated that his bedridden mother was trapped on the parlor floor. As FF Mitchell began his size-up, he noticed thick, billowing smoke from the basement windows. As he ascended the brownstone stairs, he was met with blinding, velvety smoke and a significant heat condition. The Firefighter, with the irons, donned his personal protective equipment and entered the parlor-floor foyer. Beginning his primary search, he began crawling and felt a door jamb. He entered the room where he believed the trapped woman was reported to be.
Keeping the son’s frantic message in the back of his mind, FF Mitchell was met with an increasing amount of heat and smoke to the point that he was working in zero visibility. Using his Halligan tool as an extension of his arm, he felt the tool hit what appeared to be a metal object. He followed the metal object upward and felt a mattress. In unbearable heat, he managed to get on his knees and search the hospital bed, finding a 78-year-old female.
FF Mitchell quickly notified Captain Parella of his findings and location. Without waiting for assistance, the Firefighter lifted the victim from the mattress and placed her on the floor. With fire, heat and smoke conditions becoming untenable due to the open basement door and still no protection of a charged hose-line, he began the arduous task of removing the woman.
The victim’s gown and sheets that were pulled off the bed were getting hung up, delaying the woman’s desperately needed care. At this point, FF Mitchell was almost at the foyer when he was met by Captain Parella and FF Paul Patras, the extinguisher Firefighter. With great effort, the three rescuers were able to lift the woman slightly off the ground and remove her to safety.
Once removed from the building, patient care was initiated by Engine 220 members, who began lifesaving measures. The three members of the inside team re-entered the fire building to search the immediate fire area and assist Engine 239 with fire extinguishment.
The courageous actions of FF Mitchell, who operated in untenable conditions without the protection of a charged hose-line, directly resulted in a life being saved. FF Brian T. Mitchell has upheld the traditions of both the FDNY and Ladder 122. For his bravery at Brooklyn Box 1273, he is awarded the Chief John J. McElligott Medal/FFs Fitzpatrick and Frisby Award.

FIREFIGHTER WILLIAM J. CHIN ENGINE 220 JANUARY 5, 1890
BKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY
Putting Out Fires Since 1865!
“As a side note, a few months ago when I was on a tour at Green-Wood Cemetery, I came across the grave of William Chin
. I was intrigued by the inscription on the stone: "In memory of William J. Chin, Private of Engine Co. No. 20 Brooklyn Fire Department who was killed by being thrown from a supply wagon while in the discharge of his duty as a fireman on the morning of December 28, 1889."
Grave of William Chin, Green-Wood Cemetery
Civil War veteran Chin served as a driver for the Volunteer Fire Department. According to the Times, he was injured en route to the Brasher Oil-Cloth Works fire on 18th Street and 8th Avenue when he was "thrown from his seat by the shying of the horses at a blazing log and the wheels passed over his chest." He experienced severe internal injuries and died shortly after on January 3, 1890
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, January 5, 1890
Emma Chin, his widow, sued the city for negligence, citing a defect in the street that led to her husband being thrown from his truck. The defense argued that the street was not in disrepair and that Chin was leaning over the dashboard reaching for a rein when he was jolted back as his truck hurried over to the fire. She sought $5,000 in damages in City Court but it was dismissed on January 21, 1891, after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict (it was 11-1 in favor of Chin). A life-sized sculpted marble fireman marks his grave.

FIREFIGHTER JOHN W. LEARY LADDER 122 FEBRUARY 9, 1946
First Lt. John Leary, World War II, KIA: Feb. 8. 1945
John W. Leary was born on April 4, 1912, in California into a military family. John met his future wife, Frances Miller, on a blind date. They had two children, John W. Leary Jr. and Carolyn F Leary. On May 1, 1940, he was employed as an FDNY firefighter and was studying to become lieutenant. He took a leave from the FDNY and volunteered to serve his country. At first he was assigned to the Recruiting Station in Manhattan but volunteered to go to war as a paratrooper in Europe. After a steady diet of bananas and milkshakes, he met the weight requirement and became a paratrooper. With his unit, First Lt. Leary joined the fight in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge. His destiny tragically ended on February 8, 1945, near Affler, Germany, on other side of the Our River. First Lt. Leary volunteered to lead his platoon of 11 men to establish a bridgehead on the other side of the Our River. In the face of heavily fortified enemy positions belonging to the Siegfried Line, he maneuvered his men through the German mortars and machine-gun fires. The patrol attacked an enemy bunker and destroyed it. During this action, he was seriously wounded by gunfire coming from another bunker and the patrol was pinned down. First Lt. Leary saw their desperate situation and ordered them to retreat to safety.

1st Lieutenant John W Leary
US AIRBORNE HALL OF HONOR
John W Leary was born on April 4, 1912 in California into a military family. His father, John Thomas Leary was a soldier in the 9th Infantry Regiment. He was a veteran of the “Spanish American War” (1898), the “Boxer Rebellion” (1900) and First World War (1914-1918). He made a career of the army and settled with his family in a house at Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
John was graduated from Rahway High School in New Jersey. He was also an excellent musician.
John met his future wife, Frances Miller of Manhattan. They had two children, John W Leary Jr and Carolyn F Leary.
In May 1940 he was employed as a full time Fireman with the prestigious New York City Fire Department and was studying to become lieutenant. He then volunteered to serve his country.
At the beginning, he was assigned to the Recruiting Station in Manhattan, but then he volunteered to go to war. For that, he volunteered for the paratroopers. He will be 1st Lieutenant within the HQ Company, 2nd battalion, 513th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 17th Airborne.
With his unit, 1st Lt. John Leary joined the fight in the Ardennes during the “Battle the Bulge”. His destiny will tragically finish on February 8, 1945 near Affler, Germany on other side of the Our River.
The 1st Lieutenant John W Leary volunteered to lead his platoon of 11 men and to establish a bridgehead on other side of the Our River. In the face of heavily fortified enemy positions belonging to the Siegfried Line, he maneuvered his men under the shooting of mortars and machine-guns.
The patrol attacked an enemy bunker and destroyed it. But during this action, 1st Lt. Leary was seriously wounded by the shootings coming from another bunker and the patrol was pinned down. First Lt Leary saw their desperate situation and ordered their retreat. He remained behind to cover the retreat. He opened fire with his Thompson and being done, sacrificed his life for that of his men.
The 1st Lieutenant John W Leary died on the spot. For this feat of arms, he was posthumously awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star. His body will not be found. He was declared “Missing In Action” by the War Department on February 8, 1945, one year after the fact.
Four years afterwards, on April 27, 1949, a German farmer of the name of Kamler, at the time to walk, found the body of John Leary. His body was first buried with the American cemetery of Neuville in Belgium before being repatriated in the United States to be reburied in Calverton National Cemetery on Long Island, New York at his father’s request.
When, the day came to notify his wife of the death of her husband, the family were celebrating his daughter Carolyn’s 4th birthday, John Jr was not quite 2 years old. Frances Leary never remarried. She kept his spirit alive and held on to everything from his worn out firefighter’s helmet to the telegram with the shattering news. John Jr will become plumber and have a son, John Leary 3rd. John Leary 3rd is now a firefighter with the prestigious New York City Fire Department. His daughter, Carolyn Leary received her doctorate from Fordham University and became Superintendent of schools in Somerville, New Jersey. When their mother, Frances Leary died in September 2003, the Learys' children decided to reunite their parents. First Lieutenant Leary's remains were re interred to Staten Island, New York in November 2004.
In a solemn ceremony, Frances Leary and 1st Lieutenant John W Leary were reunited in burial at Resurrection Cemetery on Staten Island. The 1st Lt John Leary was saluted by his son, John W Leary Jr, his grandson, John W. Leary 3rd, wearing his NYC firefighter uniform, his daughter-in-law Lillian Leary and his grand-daughter, Carolyn Leary carried his old firefighter helmet and Silver and Bronze stars.
At the end of the ceremony, the Army Color Guard presented the folded flag to his daughter, Dr. Carolyn Leary, as is the tradition. As the bugler played taps and the Army Color Guard saluted, his daughters-in-law commented: They're up there smiling, I'm sure of it.
