For years, they’ve watched from across the street as the trucks go in and out of the Park Avenue fire station, protecting the city and its residents. Now Harris Auto Body is returning the favor, giving two fire trucks a final detailing in preparation for Firefighter Christopher J. Roy’s funeral services.
“This is the least we could do,” said John Joubert, an employee at the shop. “It humbles you, and it’s a good feeling - you’re helping these guys out in a time of need.”
Firefighter Roy, 36, died Sunday from injuries sustained while fighting an early-morning fire at 7 Lowell St.
The tragedy has hit the Worcester community and the firefighting community hard, and thousands are expected to pay their respects to the Roy family this weekend.
