NEW HAVEN Firefighter Ricardo Torres was recalled Wednesday as someone who had a deep love help of helping others, a warm sense of humor and a lifelong goal of being part of fire service.
Torres died Wednesday while fighting a fire on Valley Street. He joined the department in July 2019, serving on Engine 6.
Local 825 union President Patrick Cannon, backed by dozens of firefighters, said Wednesday the men and women of the department were hurting.
Torres “was doing the job he always dreamed of doing,” Cannon said, and paid with his life.
