Christmas Eve, four volunteer firefighters were shot at by William
Spengler. Police say Spengler set the fire as a trap and shot at the
firefighters just as they arrived at the scene. Two firefighters, Mike
Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka were shot and killed. Kaczowka grew up
in the Explorers Program in West Webster. Chiapperini was a lieutenant
for Webster Police and was named firefighter of the year two weeks ago.
Like
all fire departments and fire service members of Monroe County, the
members of RRFD are mourning the senseless loss of two brothers.
