Our Origin
Built on the Legacy of Fire Marshal Ronald Bucca
"Stand fast" — hold your ground, remain calm, steady, and prepared in the face of adversity.
Family and friends established StandFast Alliance to honor Ron Bucca, who proudly served with the FDNY and U.S. Army for more than two decades. On 9/11, Ron climbed to the 79th floor of the South Tower to assist civilians and fight the fire at the point of impact. When facing the ultimate challenge, he stood fast and did his duty.
