April 4, 2005
$505,800
By PATRICK GALLAHUE
New York Post readers dug deep into their pockets and
donated a staggering half-million dollars to the Post/UFA
Heroes Fund to benefit the families of the three
firefighters killed and four injured on "Black
Sunday."
"In the worst times of your life, you feel support or
comfort whether it's the fireman or people donating,"
said JoAnn Asch, whose brother, firefighter Richard
Sclafani, was killed in a Brooklyn inferno. "It's just
a nice feeling."
Donations from as small as a dollar to as large as
$100,000 — from actor Denis Leary's Firefighters
Foundation — have poured into the fund in just a
little more than two months.
The fund now stands at a mind-blowing $505,800.
The Post donated $25,000.
"The UFA and its members' thanks go to the New York
Post and its readers for their heartfelt support of
these firefighters and families in the wake of the
Jan. 23 tragedy," said Steve Cassidy, president of the
Uniformed Firefighters Association.
"The Heroes Fund received countless cards and letters
of support about these brave firefighters," he added.
"These well-wishes will be a part of the legacy of
their sacrifice and the enormous efforts of The Post
and its readers to help them through this terrible
time."
Lt. Curtis Meyran, 46, of Battalion 26; John Bellew,
of Ladder Co. 27; and Sclafani, of Ladder Co. 103,
died in twin blazes on Jan. 23, which has come to be
known as Black Sunday.
Sclafani was killed after he was trapped in the
basement of a burning house in East New York.
Meyran and Bellew died trying to escape a horrific
Bronx building blaze. Trapped by flames, the heroes
were forced to make a fatal jump from the fifth floor.
Firefighters Jeffrey Cool, 37, and Joseph DiBernardo,
34, both of Rescue Co. 3; and Eugene Stolowski, 33,
and Brendan Cawley, 31, of Ladder Co. 27, were badly
hurt in the Bronx fire and spent weeks in the hospital
recovering from their injuries.
DiBernardo returned home March 9 from the burn unit of
New York Weill Cornell Medical Center after 45 days.
Fire Department Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta said,
"On behalf of everyone in the FDNY, I thank The Post
and all New Yorkers who contributed to the Heroes
Fund.
"Your extraordinary support after the tragic events of
Jan. 23, 2005, have done much to bolster the spirits
of our members during this terrible time. The fund
will be a tremendous help in supporting our three
families who lost loved ones on that tragic day."
In addition to Leary's giant donation, The Post kicked
in $25,000, Barbara Walters gave $5,000, and ordinary
citizens found some extraordinary ways to raise cash.
Firefighter Rob Carlo, of Ladder Co. 23, put together
a bash in Queens that raised more than $20,000.
Because overtime is such as crucial part of a
firefighter's paycheck, Carlo said he worried for the
families of the injured.
"I'm sure they're having a hard time making ends
meet," he said. "They shouldn't have to worry about
money at a time like this."
Carlo, who lost his younger brother, firefighter
Michael Carlo, on Sept. 11, added, "The country was so
good after 9/11, I want to do what I can for these
guys, because I know the hardship."
Even an
enterprising matchmaker plans to get in on the act by
cashing in on the enduring firefighter fetish.
Jay Rosensweig, president of Weekenddating.com, put
together a speed-dating event last month with bona
fide FDNY smoke-eaters — and a portion of the profits
went to the UFA Widows and Children's Fund.
"I'd love to do the next one for the Heroes Fund,"
Rosensweig said. "I know I'll have absolutely no
trouble getting the women. They go bananas for this."
The last event raised more than $1,000, including
money raised by the bar.
"I was never disappointed by New Yorkers," Asch said.
"I'm a New Yorker, and I always feel that when times
are rough, they help."
All the money goes into a special account set up at
Amalgamated Bank of New York. The firefighters union
said it will divide the funds evenly among the
families and take no deduction for administrative
expenses.
Credit-card donations can't be accepted, and IRS rules
bar the contributions from being tax-deductible.
Telephone inquiries about the fund can be directed to
Sheila Pettit of the UFA at (212) 545-6962. If you
want to help, send a check to:
