On December 3rd 1999 the fire in Worcester started with a candle in an \ abandoned warehouse. It ended with temperatures above 3000 degrees and the men of the Worcester \ fire department in a fight for their lives. The fire killed 6 men. The family of Tom Spencer. \ From left, Daniel Casey, Kathy, and Patrick. Tom had never spent a single night away from home \ until he enrolled in college-and even then, he went home every weekend to work for tuition money. \ So as an adult, he wanted to take his kids on trips. He drove them to cooperstown every fall, where \ his boys would spend hours at the hall of fame, staring at statues and old Jersey's. \ -Bruce Davidson/ Magnum Photos, Inc.
