Kevin Smith sounded excited to be deployed to the World Trade Center on
Sept. 11, his wife, Jerri, said. "He almost sounded like Superman
snapping at his cape," she said. A member of Hazardous Materials Co. 1 in
Manhattan, Jerri Smith said, her husband was trained in combatting terrorism. "He
was very cutting-edge in the fire department," she said, adding that her
husband was a charter member of the hazardous materials department from its
inception in 1984. Kevin Smith, 47, of Mastic, a father of eight, is presumed
dead in the terrorist attacks. He had phoned his wife at 8:50 that morning
while en route to the World Trade Center.
