Empire Hose raising funds for past member Thomas Pomplin
Piermont’s Empire Hose Company #1 is raising funds for a memorial for their past member Thomas Pomplin and awareness to recognize his 1854 death as the first Line of Duty Death in the fire service in Rockland county.
Research done by Ex Chief Dan Goswick has shown that his untimely passing was directly as a result of his response to a fire in Nyack, but his death was never recorded as a LODD. They are working to fix that by getting this hero from our history officially recognized, and building a memorial to his selfless sacrifice that his descendants can visit.
Your donation will help give the Piermont Empire Hose Company #1 and FF Thomas Pomplin, and his ultimate sacrifice, the long overdue recognition it deserves.
