These photos were a few quick snapshots taken the day before attending the funeral for FDNY Firefighter Robert Beddia Engine Co 24. Beddia gave his life while operating at a seven alarm high rise fire at the former Deutsche Bank building at 130 Liberty Street in lower Manhattan. Firefighter Joseph Graffagnino of Ladder Co 5 also gave his life.

The first set is of a motor vehicle crash on FDR Drive.

The second is from outside the quarters of Engine 54, Ladder 4 and Battalion 9 a block away from our hotel.

Last three are a few detail companies working at the scene from a camera phone.
