GETTIN' SALTY EXPERIENCE PODCAST Ep.149 | KATREANA BELLEW Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

GETTIN' SALTY EXPERIENCE PODCAST Ep.149 - LIVE at 8pm on our YouTube Channel. Our special guest will be Katreana Bellew. Katreana, an NYU dramatic writing student, is the daughter of John Bellew, an FDNY Lt. who responded to the Black Sunday 2005 fire at an apartment building on East 178th Street. Six firefighters on the fourth floor were trapped when the fire flashed through the door of the apartment, unable to find a fire escape, they jumped from the windows. Two unfortunately died in the fall: Lt. John G. Bellew and Lt. Curtis W. Meyran. The other four, Brendan Cawley, Jeff Cool, Joe DiBernardo, and Gene Stolowski, were severely injured and disabled and had to retire. Joe DiBernardo died six years later; he had been promoted to lieutenant in May 2005 and John Bellew received a posthumous promotion. Katreana has written a 100 page screenplay about the Bronx fire and is trying to turn it into a movie. Her story dives into that day, the legal proceedings that followed and includes points of view from her mother and a firefighter who survived. She is looking for help funding the film to make her vision into reality and we are here to help :).
