Ioanna Kostopulou, planning manager for Spectrum News 1, wrote “I am reaching out to ask for your help. I am working on a segment where we want to commemorate the victims who died in the January fires and while I have the names of many victims, I do not have many pictures.
Is there a way you can help me find a list of the victims with pictures that we can run in our segment? Or can you connect me with groups who might be able to help?
Circling the News ran the names of the deceased in an August 7 story https://www.circlingthenews.com/fire-deaths-shou…e-ones-prevented/ but did not run photos. If anyone can help Kostopoulou with a photo, email her at ioanna.kostopoulou@charter.com

This just breaks my heart.
My husband is Charles Mortimer’s brother. We have pictures of him.
The town needs a bronze plaque to honor the fallen…and to remind us that city positions should be awarded based on competency and nothing else.
Hi Sue, my sister, Marilyn Hamilton, died in the fire at her home on Las Lomas Ave. Her parents were long time Palisadians Ted Mackie and Mary Mackie Hagerth. I’ll email Ioannda. Thanks, Suzanne “Suki” Mackie
