The fireboat John D. McKean was deployed
to the west
channel recently in a salute to FDNY Firefighter Joey
DiBernardo,
who had survived a Morris Heights house fire with a
five-story escape
by rope, and was recovering across the river in New
York Hospital.
Two other firefighters died jumping from the building.
While the fireboat
shot red, white, and blue streams, DeBernardo's
comrades unfurled
a sign from the top of Island House; they were later
interviewed by
Channel 11.
