This from Steve Redick:
On Wednesday I had the honor of attending the memorial for the 50th anniversary of the Mickelberry tragedy. The members of Engine 50 and Truck 18 (first due to the incident), put a lot of time and effort into a very nice ceremony and reception at company quarters. I have a personal connection to the event as my father responded there on Snorkel Squad 3. His company arrived after the explosion had taken place so they all escaped injury. It was well attended by family members of those lost as well as some members who were at the incident back in 1968. I present a few images and video to give an idea of the events. More photos:
