Ronald J. OBrien

nice guy. Met him in S Bra Sq back in the 70's. Knew a couple of relatives who were on BFD. RIP my friend and God Bless!

sorry to hear about Ronnie, first met him when he was one of the drivers/Aides for Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal Joe Dolan...then he moved to the Arson Squad..a very capable investigator...he was working the night of the 2 hotel fires in 1979, he was the boss on Ladder Co. 22 and one of the first companies to arrive at the second major fire, the Sheraton Boston..my favorite story, returning from Superior Court one morning via the subway, at Andrew Sq we walked up just as Ladder 18 came by, we waved, they stopped and we rode the side back to Fire Hqs...great memories....RIP old friend...
