Kevin J. Smith‚ 47‚ firefighter‚ FDNY‚ Hazardous Materials 1. A former Marine‚ Smith brought military discipline to everything he did. On September 11‚ he had hoped to use his anti-terrorism training to help at the World Trade Center. A charter member of Hazmat from its 1984 inception‚ Smith was present at many major disasters.
