We will never forget.
Today, we pause to honor and remember the 2,977 innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001. As a fire service family, we hold a profound and enduring connection to the events of that fateful morning.
We especially bow our heads in memory of the 343 FDNY firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, and 37 Port Authority police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. They ran toward danger, climbing up while others were running down. Their legacy of unwavering dedication, selflessness, and courage guides our service every single day.
To the families who still carry the heavy weight of that loss, and to the first responders still suffering from the lasting effects of that day—our hearts are with you, today and always.
May we always carry forward their spirit of sacrifice, unity, and love for our neighbors.
