Thoughts and prayers to the family. I met Mr. Fiore for the first time a few months ago when he was in need of an ambulance. I was in the back with him that day. Despite the reasons that 911 was called that day, he was full of jokes, and we talked about everything on the way to the hospital. From fire dept related things, to the service, and the town in general. I enjoyed talking to him, and very glad to have met him, just wish it was under better circumstances. My thoughts and prayers to yout family and friends.
