On 1 July 1988, 25 years ago today, five brave men of the Hackensack, NJ FD lost their lives when a truss roof collapsed on them while battling a fire at Hackensack Ford. While this was not the first large LODD from a truss roof, it signaled the end of an era of ignorance of the dangers of fires involving truss construction in the U.S. A concerted effort following this tragic event helped to educate and train firefighters, honoring the deaths by training to help prevent another occurrence. Be vigilant, brothers and sisters, tonight could be the night.
