A New Haven firefighter who dreamed of being a member of his hometown fire department as a 2-year-old child, and tragically lost his life in a blaze last week, will be laid to rest in Hartford today following a procession and church service in New Haven.
Following a private ceremony honoring the life of Firefighter Ricardo Torres, an on-foot procession with motorcycles, fellow firefighters and officers from all over the state and the New York Fire Department’s pipe and drum band will be led from the New Haven Fire Department Headquarters to St. Mary’s Church around 9:15 a.
