Several New York City firefighters came to the Valley Friday night because of one local teenager.
Roy Smith III, a fallen McGaheysville volunteer firefighter, dressed up as a Fire Department of New York fireman for his homecoming just months before he died in a car crash in November 2008.His friends and fellow firemen say, even up until the day Smith passed away, he talked about his dreams of becoming a New York City firefighter.

I know many members of FDNY, including my brother-in-law.
Policemen joke that God made policemen so firemen could have heroes too, but I have to admit that job is stocked full of heroes. Here is a list of some of this years FDNY heroes
God Bless our firefighters.
And my prayers to the family of Roy Smith III.
