Early yearsRivera Esbri was the son of Ramón Rivera Alvarado and Julia Esbri.[1] He married Faneta Bengoa y Larrauri and had a daughter named Lili Belen, born around 1904.[2] El PolvorinRivera Esbri is best remembered for an incident that has little to do with his work as mayor. He is remembered as the only civilian who in the company of seven of Ponce's firefighters confronted and brought under control the fire of 25 January 1899 that took place at the American munitions depot in the city of Ponce, located where the Ponce High School is currently located. Rivera Esbri and the others did this in defiance of an order from the American invaders not to attempt to fight the fire.[3] Their bravery is said to have saved the city from total destruction.[4] ObeliskIn 1906,[5] the Legislature of Puerto Rico issued a proclamation to officially declare Rafael Rivera Esbri and the seven firefighters heroes.[6] In time, the city of Ponce also built an obelisk to their memory which is located at Plaza Las Delicias (See Monumento a los heroes de El Polvorin), and is dedicated to Rivera Esbri and the seven firefighters who risked their lives in the 25 January 1899, fire. Rivera Esbri's name, along with those of the firefighters are engraved on the obelisk.[7] Mayoral workAs mayor, Rivera Esbri founded, in 1916, the cemetery at Barrio Coto Laurel in Ponce.[8] Death and burialUpon his death, Rafael Rivera Esbri was buried at the mausoleum reserved for Ponce firefighters in the Monumento a los heroes de El Polvorín at Cementerio Civil de Ponce.[9] He is the only civilian non-firefighter in the mausoleum. He died on 9 November 1965.[10] HonorsIn Ponce there is a street in Urbanización Las Delicias of Barrio Magueyes named after him. See also
