On Sunday (24 July), at least 400 firefighters from the region, as well as hundreds of other people, participated in a Bridgeport, CT, ceremony dedicating a granite memorial designed to honor Lt. Steven J. Velasquez and Firefighter Michel Baik, the two members of Ladder 11 who died fighting a fire in a three-story wood-frame house one year ago. The ceremony was conducted at the Ocean Terrace fire station, quarters of Engine 7 and Ladder 11.
