WILLIAM P. BERRY LT. ENG. 241 FEB. 14, 1927 1928 TREVOR-WARREN
Lieutenant William P. Berry of Engine 241 received the Emily Trevor - Mary B. Warren Medal for rescuing Richard Pugh from a basement fire at 7123 4th Avenue on February 14, 1927. A lighted match or cigarette was thrown into a bucket of shellac, which exploded, trapping Pugh and his cousin Clarence E. Dennison, age 19 in the basement.
Lieutenant Berry and his crew pulled in front of the fire and was told of two men trapped in the basement. He crawled on his hands and knees until he found Pugh unconscious and carried him to safety. Dennison body was not found until the fire was out. Richard Pugh would later died at the Norwegian Hospital. Lieutenant Berry entered the burning basement without the backup of a hose line and at extreme personal risk, was awarded the Trevor & Warren Medal for 1927.

FIREFIGHTER FABIN ECHEVARRIETA LADDER 109 January 7, 1974
FABIAN J. ECHEVARRIETA, 37, Ladder 109. 13-year veteran. He suffered a fatal heart attack while working on the roof of a blazing building at 238 President St. Although 109 normally covers Bay Ridge, the unit was called to the Park Slope area to cover the blaze. During the fire fighting operations fireman Echevarrieta worked as the "roof man", opening skylights and other openings to ventilate the smoking, steamy building. Fellow firemen futilely administered artificial respiration and he was rushed to Long Island College Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
In 1970 he rescued a senior citizen from a burning building at 7701 Fifth Ave. He joined the Department in 1960. Fireman Echevarrieta was known around the firehouse as "the baby bull" for his strength and courage. In the 1970 rescue which earned him commendation from the Fire Department he succeeded in rescuing a man even though two policemen had already been driven back from the flames. The intensity of his struggle to save the man's life left him unconscious once he brought him to safety.

WILLIAM MORAN FF. LADDER 109 JULY 7, 1976
WILLIAM MORAN, 48, worked at Ladder 109 for 17 years, ever since he joined the FDNY in 1959. On Sunday afternoon July 25, 1976 he suffered a fatal heart attack at his home in Flatbush. He had worked through the nights of Thursday and Friday, had answered calls to large fires, small ones, and false alarms. "He was a good man, well liked" stated Captain John Carroll who emphasized that Moran had worked during "really busy nights" during the week. The company had made frequent runs on those nights and then had to relocate to Ladder 122 in Park Slope. Fireman Tom McDonald, who worked with Moran on those nights, recalled that Moran hadn't felt well, but didn't stop working or report in sick.
-Items from Third Avenue Express website.
Fireman Moran was cited for heroism in 1965 when he made a dramatic rescue of a young woman on 56th Street during a raging fire in her apartment in late October of that year.
RIP. Never forget.
