I am the daughter of a Brockton Firefighter that was involved in a car accident in June 1964. My dad was the only survior out of 4 firemen that night. Cheif Burrell stepped up to the plate helping my mom. She belives if it wasn't for Cheif Burrell and the rest of the Firefighters brotherhood during that awful time she would have never gotten thru it. Even years later Cheif Burrell never forgot about our family. What a true hero he was. Rest in Peace and thank you for the compassion you...
