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 Jerry Lucey. \ From left: John, Jeremiah III, and Michelle when Lucey was a rookie, he called the caption of a \ rescue truck and told him he'd heard the squad was looking for a new man. The captain had never \ heard of a rookie doing such a thing, but he took him on anyway. He admired Lucey's gut's. "you \ can teach anyman to be a goodfighter", the captain said, "but you can't teach a good attitude." \ -Bruce Davidson/ Magnum Photos, Inc.
