It is with heavy hearts that we must inform you of the tragic deaths of two of our own, Lt. Robert Neary and FF Daniel Sweeney, assigned to Ladder 10 on the C platoon, who died in the line of duty in the early morning hours of Monday, April 9th while battling a 5-alarm warehouse inferno in the Kensington section of Philadelphia.

Lt. Robert Neary had 38 years on the department. He has been a Lieutenant since 1983. He was awarded four unit citations in his career. Before joining the fire department he was a Philadelphia Police officer for 3 years and He Was an Army reservist for 10 years attaining the rank on Sgt 1st class. Lt. Robert Neary leaves behind his wife Diane and their three children.

FF Daniel Sweeney followed his father, Captain David Sweeney (ret.), footsteps and joined the Philadelphia Fire Department in July of 2006. He has been stationed at Ladder 10 since 2007. Daniel has been awarded two unit citations in his career. Daniel was the loving son of his parents David and Marian Sweeney

IAFF Local 22 will soon be announcing ways you can help to support the families of our fallen brothers in their time of need.

This fierce, wind-driven warehouse fire also seriously injured two other firefighters, FF Francis Chaney and FF Patrick Nally. Both members are currently in being treated at Temple University Hospital. FF Nally is a five year veteran and is currently in critical but stable condition FF Chaney is an 8 year veteran of the PFD and is currently admitted in stable condition and is currently admitted for observation.

Please keep them and their families in your thoughts and prayers. We will update you further as more details emerge. We thank you for your compassion and support during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Bill Gault
President
IAFF Local 22

Makes you wonder if they also do business this way in other places.

Of course and there are many like them here in NYC who have been doing the same for decades.
