As I grow older, I tend to enjoy the third Sunday in June—Father’s Day—more now than I did when my beautiful daughters were smaller. It’s a day on which I reflect more on myself as a person and father; think about my father, who also was a firefighter; take stock in all with which God has blessed me; look toward the future of a not-so-distant retirement; and being a great grandfather (hopefully) and firefighter.
父亲节和六月的月份也带来了一些悲惨的周年纪念日，我希望消防队和年轻消防员永远不会忘记，学习和分享所学到的教训。这些岁月继续飞逝，随之而来的是，我们倾向于生活。很容易忘记这些事件。作为导师，忘记了今天有一系列消防员在高中时还没有活着，或者在发生这些事件时根本不在服务中。事件发生时很重要，但是随着时间的流逝，除了发生事件发生的地方，它们在任何地方都被遗忘了。
This article is my attempt to help you remember and share these events as well as allow my own reverence to the 20 firefighters who perished them. Below are links to the audio, video and reports so you can remember and share them as you gather around the kitchen, table, golf course, or whereever Father’s Day finds you.
The Fires That Forged Us: Father’s Day Fire, 2001
HOTEL VENDOME
The five-story Vendome Hotel was originally constructed in 1871 at the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Dartmouth Street; it was remodeled in 1872 and numerous times thereafter, according to a very detailed Board of Inquiry (BOI) report from around 1890. A load bearing wall between the first and second floors was removed and replaced with a cast iron beam and column support system carrying the weight of an approximately 1,800-square-foot area. It was also highlighted in the report that this new support system was not tied together, and the two beams simply rested on the column.
这是父亲节的前一天在approxi 1972mately 1430 hours when the Boston (MA) Fire Department (BFD) received box alarm 1571 at the corner of Dartmouth and Newbury. The box was pulled by construction workers doing some work at the café inside the Hotel Vendome. The fire started on the fourth floor in a bathroom under construction. The fire raced upward and consumed much of the roof. At 1728 hours, while firefighters were controlling fires in the exterior mansard and cornice, the entire 1,800-square-foot area at the Southeast corner of the building collapsed, killing nine firefighters and injuring many others. In all, 23 children were left fatherless the day before Father’s Day 1972.

In summary, the BOI report noted the following top factors as major contributors to the deadly collapse:
- 压力下铸铁列回答e excessively high, a result from removing the bearing wall between the first and second floors at around the year 1890 and then replacing the wall with a beam and column support system. The masonry bearing walls were, at the time of the fire, approximately 100 years old, and the mortar exhibited very low strength characteristics, both in bond and bearing. This alteration was the major factor contributing to the building collapse.
- 在1972年变化期间，在圆柱下方的轴承壁中添加加热和通风管开口导致额外的应力浓度。
- The large amount of water pumped into the building during the fire provided the additional load needed to trigger the collapse. If the residual stresses in the building, however, had been within normal design limits, this water load should not have caused collapse of the structure.

纽约消防局（FDNY），父亲节2001
“我被困在地下室的楼梯上。来抓我。”Those were the words uttered by Firefighter Brian Fahey from Rescue 4 after an explosion occurred during a June 17, 2001, fire at the Long Island General Supply neighborhood hardware store at 12-22 Astoria Boulevard in Queens. Unfortunately, Fahey, fellow Rescue 4 member Harry Ford, and Ladder 163 Firefighter John Downing passed away at this fire, which is sometimes known as the “forgotten fire” in FDNY lore as this event took place just months prior to 9/11. Two juveniles were in the rear yard of the building when they knocked over a can of gasoline. The gasoline ran under the rear door and into the basement, eventually finding the water heater. When the water heater kicked in, it ignited the gasoline; the resulting fire caused the explosion of a large propane tank illegally stored in the basement causing the massive explosion.

The hardware store was a Type III ordinary construction building that was two structures interconnected on the first floor featuring cellars with upper floor apartments. Fire doors were blocked open to allow free movement between the cellars, which were used for storage and had an abundance of hazardous materials inside.
据报道大火在1421小时；大约20分钟后发生爆炸。福特和唐宁因爆炸的碎屑而粉碎，而法赫（Fahey）被困在地窖里，他因吸入烟雾而死于窒息。（还应指出，福特的儿子小哈里（Harry Jr.

Charleston (SC) Sofa Super Store Fire: The Charleston Nine
It is unfathomable that a decade has passed since this fire, which claimed the lives of nine firefighters. Ten years is a long time in our profession, and just think about how many new firefighters and officers your department has since sworn in who may have never heard of this event. When discussing this fire with them, I recommend that you do not concentrate on the line selection, i.e., booster lines or 1½-inch lines, but rather think about how the building, its contents and their influence on rapid fire spread, and the building’s construction led to such a fast spreading fire.
There are many pieces of literature devoted to this event. We all need to review the below video; listen to the accompanying audio (the first hour of the response); and study the fire spread, ventilation issues, and overall command and control of the fire written about in the National Institute of Standards and Technology report.

听，观看和阅读这些勇敢的查尔斯顿消防员，然后出去研究您的“麻烦制造者”建筑物，并与您的消防员一起研究。父亲节快乐！享受您的家人，如果您像我这样的星期天必须工作，请吃一顿美餐，然后花一些时间来纪念，永远不要忘记这21个勇敢的灵魂。
