Volunteer Fireman George W. Burridge, 40
E 18
Manhattan, New York
While operating at a fire involving an extensive mixed property, Fireman Burridge was killed instantly when he was caught under a collapsing wall. Another fireman, who had just emerged from the building with two small children, narrowly escaped death when the wall just missed him.
RIP. Never forget.
