986th First Responder Dies From 9/11-Related Illness

CALIFORNIA FIRE NEWS:
- Robert 'Bobby' Ehmer, 47, of East Meadow, Long Island died Sunday after succumbing to a three-year battle with kidney cancer.
Ehmer raced to the site of the World Trade Center and worked there for several weeks as he assisted in the search for survivors and removal of debris.
He along with several thousand first responders were exposed to toxic dust that blanketed the area. He was an officer for the 100th Precinct in Queens and retired in 2005.
He also dedicated his time to his community as a volunteer firefighter and an EMT for St. John's Hospital. In 2007, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer.
His condition worsened over the last three years as the cancer spread throughout his body. Ehmer was single and did not have any children.
Ehmer's family will hold a wake for him on Tuesday and Wednesday. His funeral is scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. at Chapel Funeral Home in East Islip.
On Friday, more than 10,000 Sept. 11 first responders and New York City reached a settlement worth at least $625 million over the city's failure to provide protective equipment to the responders, which allowed deadly soot enter their lungs and make them sick.

NY- NYFD- WTC Settlement is for a few leaves thousands out in cold

CALIFORNIA FIRE NEWS: NY- NYFD- WTC Settlement is for a few leaves thousands out in cold: "

I am a forgotten Ground Zero Vet, I have been left out of settlement, Why? Because I did not contact the right law firm!

More than 10,000 people have joined a legal settlement that will pay hundreds of millions of dollars to ground zero workers exposed to toxic World Trade Center dust.
The acceptance of the deal was announced by a court Friday. It will mean an end to most litigation over New York City's failure to provide protective equipment to construction workers, police and firefighters who cleared rubble.
Apparently the law firm Napoli Bern Ripka LLP

did not really care about the workers, they only cared about money! They will not even talk to me now!
I will continue to have serious medical problems, and will try to live with the WTC cough...

I have been forgotten.
