The New York City Fire Department honored one of its own Tuesday, Lt. Christopher Raguso – one of seven U.S. Airmen killed when their helicopter crashed near al Qaim in western Iraq last week.
Purple and black memorial buntings were draped on the exterior of Engine 249/Ladder 113 in Brooklyn, where Raguso served on the force for eleven years before being promoted to Lieutenant and serving at a station in Queens.
Fellow FDNY member Fire Marshal Christopher Zanetis who joined the force in 2004 was also killed in Thursday’s crash.
Both men have been recognized for their bravery in connection with their work at FDNY.
