A Tribute to First Responders Salute to the First Responders A 9/11 Tribute “A wise man once said that if you do something that you enjoy you will never work a day in your life,” paraphrased Key West Fire Chief David Fraga. “I have been fortunate.” After nearly four decades with the Key West Fire Department he echoes many of the sentiments offered by firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and law enforcement officers throughout Monroe County. “I like helping people.” “This fits my personality.” “We are like family.” This coming Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. 411 first responders died that day – men and women who do not think twice about entering a hostile environment or dangerous situation.

Key West Police Chief Donie Lee was only 23 when he joined the department. Born and raised in Key West, Lee said his inspiration comes from “the opportunity and the ability to make the Key West Police Department the most professional agency possible.” Ten years ago, Lee and a child- hood friend were attending a Gay and Lesbian Criminal Justice Symposium in Los Angeles when terrorists took four commercial planes hostage. “He lived in New York and worked in the World Trade Center,” he said. “He lost many friends that day; it was amazing that he was with me in California when it hap- pened.” Firefighter Albert Fernandez is only 3 months away from retire- This coming Sunday he will ment after a quarter of a century in the employ of the Key West Fire be part of the 9/11 Memorial Department.
