FDNY Line of Duty Death
December 16, 1913 - LODD
Fireman Thomas J. McManus
Engine 40
FDNY. Manhattan, New York.
A rapidly spreading three-alarm fire in a five-story brick tenement too the lives of three people, and forced many other to jump from windows to the street. The three who died included Fireman McManus, who was off-duty and lived in the building. He was attempting to rescue his mother and sister, but they didn't make it out of the building. Their bodies were found lying in a hallway after the fire was extinguished.
RIP. Never forget.
