| Notes |
- Allan was a NYC firefighter who bravely lost his life at the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. His career began in 1999 as a probie with Engine 154, Travis. He was transferred to Ladder 169, in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, before coming back to the Island five years ago to work with Rescue 5. Shortly before his death he was elected as the union delegate for Rescue 5. Allan met his wife in Naples, Italy, when she was 16 and he was 18. She was a self-described "Navy brat" attending Forrest Hill High School on the base, and Mr. Tarasiewicz was a lance corporal in the Marines. Allan was born in Midland Beach and a graduate of New Dorp High School. He worked as a coal miner in Paonia, Colo., during the early 1980s. He returned to Midland Beach in 1985 and was employed as a mechanic for the New York City Transit Authority. In 1986, he worked as a welder for Consolidated Edison, before his career as a firefighter began. [2]
