A message from the desk of mayor: Mark-Paul Serafin
Never Forget
For nearly 200 years the Manlius Fire Department did not suffer a single line of duty death until the tragic loss of John "Gino" Ginocchetti and Timothy "TJ" Lynch on March 7, 2002.
The loss was sudden and terrible. For their families, the grief is still heavy. For their fellow Fire/EMS brotherhood, the pain continues to be felt deeply.
The Village of Manlius shares in their sorrow and in their pride...Because this week we not only remember one moment of tragedy, but commemorate two lives of great dedication, courage and service.
Gino and TJ had the bravery and discipline required of their calling. Both of them knew that great service in Fire/EMS is inseparable from great risk. And both of them accepted those risks willingly in the cause of responding to all in need of our Fire/EMS protection.
And now, 10 years since that terrible night, their names are known and remembered. Gino and TJ will always have an honored place in our village collective memory and recorded history.
I am grateful every day for the brave men and women of the Village of Manlius Fire Department, both volunteer and career alike. Our highly trained first responders may not be known by name to all they serve, but each holds a special place in all our hearts...For always answering the call for help...For placing themselves in harm's way...For putting the life of another above their own. Your courage and conviction is an inspiration to all of us.
That is why we must never forget.
The Honorable Mark-Paul Serafin
Mayor of the Village of Manlius
