Scott Larsen’s fourth child was born on September 13th. He loved being a father. He would speed home from the firehouse to play with his kids, 9,8 and 5. In warm weather they would take to their bikes or rollerblades. Come spring break he would pack everyone in the car and drive to Disney World. His favorite ride was Space Mountain, but even his bribes of stuffed animals wouldn’t get his kids back on it.
Larsen, 35, assigned to Ladder 163, was on rotation to Ladder Co. 15 on 9/11.
I went to New York on September 15th, 2011 What a heart wrenching story. I have Scott’s name embroidered on a seat on a Fire Engine here in Chicago.
