Tuesday, December 03, 2019
The series, titled “The Worcester 6: Heroes Remembered” gives a first-hand account of the night of December 3, 1999, and what happened during the fire causing six Worcester firefighters to lose their lives.
The series is produced by The Leary Firefighters Foundation, founded by actor Denis Leary.
Leary lost his first cousin Jerry Lucey, and childhood friend Lt. Tommy Spencer in the fire.
The Leary Firefighters Foundation
Leary put together the foundation in 2000 in response to the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse Fire.
The foundation is dedicated to providing fire departments with funding and resources for up-to-date equipment and training.
Through events like Celebrity Hat Trick with the Boston Bruins, the Annual BASH for New York's Bravest with the FDNY, and the 2009 NYC Marathon, the Foundation has been able to provide nearly $2 million to the families of the 343 firefighters that perished on 9/11, another $500,000 to the Boston Fire Department for new equipment including a Tactical Command Unit and Fire Rescue/Diver Support Boat for Boston Harbor, and multiple High-Rise Simulators for the FDNY Fire Academy.
