Bruce Davidson
USA. Massachusetts. 1999. 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 Jay Lyons from left: His mother, Joan; sister, Kathryn; and father, James. After rejoining the Worcester Fire Department in 1997 and being assigned to Engine 3, Jay always wore a sterling-silver medallion depicting Saint Florian, the patron saint of firefighters. Somehow, it survived temperatures of 3000 degrees intact, and Kathryn now wears it around her neck.
