FF was Tim Welch. Quoted in a newspaper interview (Middletown Times Herald Record) as saying "I'm not a hero. Any of my brothers, my fellow firefighters . . . would have done the same thing. I'm just a fireman. That's all I am." OUTSTANDING!!! FF Welch if you read this, thank you. I have printed the article with this comment and I intend to leave it for my sons to read (ages 12 & 9). There is a lot to be learned from your brief words. Great job by FF Welch and also by MPD officer Vincent Andre, who originally laddered the building. Hats off to you both.....
