I was away most of this past week so was unable to make this. In Butler we have two connections to the tragedy. A lieutenant with Bartholdi Hose Co. 2 is a past member of Bogota Fire Department where the fire took place. The captain of Kinney Hose Co. 1 (my company) came to us from the Ridgefield Park Fire Department. Something like this is never easy for the family, fellow firefighters and friends of someone who makes the supreme sacrifice but hopefully all of the survivors can take some comfort in knowing how many people care from such a wide area.
