This is the only picture of John Anobile I have.

From Ed Mavrenac :

"From left to right; John Anobile, me, Fred Higgins, Dave Hirosky, I can't remember who the fifth guy is."

"This picture was taken at our retirement party.
Fred Higgins, Dave Hirosky, and I retired on the same day, Nov. 7, 2004. The three of us worked on the same turn at No.13 Engine & Truck."

"Fred Higgins passed away a few years back. As far as I know, Dave Hirosky is still around."

Rest In Peace John Anobile. ... See MoreSee Less

September 19, 1988, quarters, Engine Company No.1.
Firefighter Robert Miller has been detailed to No.1. His regular duty assignment was at Engine Company No.3.

Miller was very fit and worked out frequently to stay conditioned.

On this day, Miller is jogging. He is running laps up and down the stairs in at No.1’s quarters and then outside over to Smithfield Street and back, then circling around the parking lot next door.

It is a warm and humid September day. Two other firefighters on duty are outside watching Miller go by. He is sweating from his exertions; they are sweating from the humidity. So, they go back inside to the air conditioned sitting room.

A short while later, one of the firemen went back outside and found Miller down on the sidewalk! The crew performed CPR until Miller was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital.

At Mercy Hospital, doctors were unable to restart Miller’s heart and he was pronounced dead.

Robert Miller was 44 years old. He was an Army veteran and had been appointed to the Fire Bureau on November 16, 1972.

He was survived by his wife, Sharon, and two sons, and a daughter, all still living at home.

REST IN Peace Robert Miller, you are not forgotten by your Brothers. ... See MoreSee Less
