As a boy, Robert Weber chased the lights and sirens of fire engines down the streets of Brooklyn.
He hung out at the Engine 247 firehouse, eating ham heroes with extra mayonnaise and “learning everything about everything to be the best firefighter in the world,” said his wife Danielle Weber, who grew up next door.
They got married in their 20s and settled in Port Monmouth, New Jersey, where Weber joined the ranks of the more than one million firefighters America calls upon when stovetops, factory floors and forest canopies burst into flames.
