My condolences to the DellAmura family. Frank was a dedicated member of the NHFD and had an umblemished career. He put his life on the line many times as a firefighter working out of busy stations. His work as a fire investagator and advancement to Deputy Fire Marshal all came through hard work and positive experience. May he rest in peace.
