Moment Of Silence Held For 2 Boston Firefighters Killed 8 Years Ago On Beacon Street

BOSTON (CBS) -- Boston firefighters paid tribute on Saturday to a pair of colleagues lost in the line of duty eight years ago.

On March 26, 2014, Lieutenant Edward Walsh Jr. and firefighter Michael Kennedy were killed battling a wind-whipped blaze inside a Back Bay brownstone.

The men were trapped in the basement of the building on Beacon Street.

Investigators eventually determined that welders working next door sparked the flames.

The welding company was fined in the case.
