Three firefighters to be honored Dec. 3 O n April 16, a box alarm was struck for a motor vehicle accident on Route 1A in Revere, with reports of multiple people trapped inside a vehicle that had veered off the road into the Pines River. Engine 5 was first on the scene, and Lieutenant Sean Griffi n instructed Firefi ghter Frank Trichilo to prepare the hose line fl otation equipment while he and Firefi ghter Paul McInnis started down to the shoreline. The vehicle was nearly submerged, and with the airbags deployed it was hard to see inside. Witnesses said an occupant was still inside. With the situation rapidly deteriorating, Griffi n and McInnis entered the water without wet suits – just their Class B uniforms – while Trichilo assisted from the shore. Griffi n and Trichilo waded out 25 feet in the 43-degree water. It was windy and they were wading through water about fi ve feet deep. They reached the submerged vehicle and were able to open the driver’s side door and get the person out. The driver was disoriented, injured and weak, but alive. They placed him on his back and took him safely to shore, where he was treated and then transported to the emergency room for further evaluation. They conducted a secondary search for additional occupants, but none were found. The three firefighters will honored for their bravery on December 3. Eastern bank Bldg.
