Written By: Robert Cox

Danny Ronca, the New Rochelle firefighter seriously injured during Saturday’s massive blaze at 740 Pelham Road, has put a note on Facebook thanking the community for their support.

Ronca fell backwards, down 25 feet, when a railing gave way. Ronca and another firefighter were driven backwards when the fire flashed, cutting them off from the rest of their crew.

Ronca writes:
