Today the North Babylon Fire Company would like to pay respect to Firefighter Andre Fletcher. Firefighter Fletcher was a member of Rescue #5 in Staten Island with the FDNY and was also a volunteer Firefighter/ Paramedic with North Babylon Station 2. Firefighter Fletcher was taken from us and the FDNY on September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center.
Please take a moment to reflect on this horrific day that happened 23 years ago.
