Lt. Joseph DiBernardo, FDNY Rescue 3

Plaque Dedication

One year after his tragic death, firefighters, family and friends gathered at the quarters of Rescue 3 in the Bronx to remember Lt. Joseph DiBernardo.

“Bravery, leadership and courage are all qualities for which we will remember him,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. “Those who loved him will always feel his loss.”

Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano added: “He’s a rare individual who realized his childhood dream [to be a firefighter]. And his service to this city, his contributions to the job will have an impact for years to come.”

Lt. DiBernardo suffered critical injuries on Jan. 23, 2005, when he and five other firefighters were forced to jump from a fourth floor window after being trapped by fire. Lt. Curtis Meyran and Lt. John Bellew died that day from their injuries.
