Chelsea, NY - On Saturday, March 24th, Firefighter Anthony Bell, Lt. Angel Luis Gonzalez III and Lt. Jonathan Castelli participated in the 2018 Dutchess/Ulster Heart Walk at Marist College. The walk was done in support of a great cause, as well as in remembrance of our fallen brother Firefighter, Michael "Mikey" Cabrera Jr., who was a 32-year life member that died in December after fighting heart disease for several years. Firefighters marched in full turnout gear with airpacks while carrying a fourth pack to represent "Bringing our Brother and Friend to the finish line". Marching along with Chelsea FD were the loving members of the Cabrera family as well as friends.
