Firefighter Kevin Smith

Firefighter 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.
