A new foundation was announced in the memory of both men. Last Call Foundation was started by Kennedy's mother, Kathy Crosby Bell, and will support Boston's firefighters with the resources that they need.
This anniversary comes just days after the owners of a welding company were blamed for the fire. Officials say D & J Iron Works Didn’t follow proper precautions.
