To his fellow Syracuse firefighters, Tom Laun will always be the guy who found the three words to perfectly sum up Engine Co. 7. The initials for that expression are emblazoned on the bell and the wall at the East Fayette Street firehouse, which closes for good at 8 a.m. today.

Excellent article! Be sure and read the several related articles about D.C. Laun and the rescue attempt he made. He gave total credit to the on-duty truck co. crew for making the "grab". The man is a true hero, at age 72, to be crawling into a flat to get to the victim, without gear or SCBA. The articles show that firefighters everywhere are a true brotherhood. All of us retired guys miss the job so much- you lucky ones that are still "active"- live the dream; stay safe; and never dishonor the profession.
