Firefighter Nicholas Rossomando

Nicholas Rossomando started his fire and rescue career in 1996 and quickly became known for exemplary performance. “He did not present himself as a guy with five to six years’ experience,” firefighter and friend Lt. Robert Dimperio said. “He was more like a 20-year guy. He learned a lot in a very short time.” He also enjoyed the work. “If there is any consolation in all of this, it’s that he did something he loved, and he perished doing the thing he loved,” said Rossomando’s father, Peter. In addition to his father, Rossomando is survived by his mother, Barbara, and siblings, Peter, Christopher, and Donna.
