On December 3, 1999, a five-alarm fire at the Worcester Cold Storage & Warehouse Co. building claimed the lives of six brave firefighters who responded to the call. These six heroes, The Worcester 6, sacrificed their lives to try to rescue two individuals who were believed to be trapped inside the inferno. Crafted by artist Brian P. Hanlon, the three-piece tribute to the six fallen firefighters in the fire was unveiled to the public on December 3, 2008; nine years after the tragic fire and on the very spot where the warehouse once stood.
