Untitled Dianne L. Ray 77th Motorcycle Week at Laconia		On Friday December 3, 1999 six members of Worcester Fire Department were killed fighting a warehouse fire while saving the homeless and destitute souls camped out inside that we all often deny. It was estimated that 30,000 firefighters from all over the country attended their memorial. Seventeen children will remember this Christmas not as the last holiday of the millennium but as the year that their Daddy died. "Too often we take them for granted, our firefighters. In the days ahead, I hope that every American will find an occasion to thank those in their communities who stand ready every day to put their lives on the line when the alarm bell rings." From President Clinton's memorial address
