Media Fire Hook and Ladder #1 - Station 23

3 weeks ago

On September 11, 2001, our nation was forever changed.

We remember the 343 members of the FDNY, the 23 NYPD officers, the 37 Port Authority officers, and all of the brave first responders and civilians who lost their lives that day.

We remember the firefighters who ran toward the danger while others were running away. We remember their courage, their sacrifice, and the families and brothers and sisters left behind.

25 years later, their sacrifice continues to remind us of the responsibility we carry every time we answer the call.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. ... See MoreSee Less
