Memorial Service
Roslyn Rescue Remembers Allen Frye
On March 25, 2022, the Roslyn Rescue Fire Company held their 20th Annual Memorial Service in memory of Captain Allen ‘Big Al’ Frye at their Station 3 in Greenvale. On March 25, 2002, while leading the company in a training exercise on Glen Cove Road, an impaired motorist drove through road closure barricades protecting the training area and fatally struck Captain Frye. For the 20th anniversary of his passing, members of the fire company, surrounding fire depart-
ments and the family and friends of Captain Frye gathered together for a memorial service as they have every year since his passing. After remarks from company leadership as well as presentations to the family, Tower Ladder 565 was formally dedicated to Captain Frye with a plaque affixed to the apparatus and his name forever written on the officer’s door. Continue to rest in peace, Captain Frye. - Fire News photos by OvertheEdgePhotography.com and AJDPhotoG
