Fireman Matthew J. Ward
Engine 65
FDNY. Manhattan, New York
The weather was brutal with a full blizzard blowing. Fireman Ward, detailed to Ladder 21, was responding to Box 461, 6th Avenue and W. 37th Street. While crossing Broadway at W. 36 Street, Ladder 21 was broadsided by a southbound trolley car. Fireman Ward was caught between the trolley and the ladders. He died a few hours of later from his injuries. The motorman reported not hearing the siren or bell above the noise of the blizzard.
RIP. Never forget.
