Firefighter Francis Haher was the first City of Binghamton firefighter killed in the line of duty. Firefighter Haher was fighting a large barn fire at 21 Warren St. A hose line was in the building hitting the fire when suddenly a large beam fell, broke and released a huge pile of wet hay. The weight of the beam and hay killed him. He was 23 years old.
