Fire fighters and other first responders from around the region gathered at the East Franklin Volunteer Fire Company firehouse April 11 to remember one of their own who died in the line of duty.
The occasion was the 10th anniversary of the death of Kevin Apuzzio, a member of East Franklin who was killed the morning of April 11, 2006. Apuzzio, 21, was one of five fire fighters in the process of rescuing a 75-year-old woman trapped in her Whittier Avenue home when the floor collapsed, sending all six into the basement.
