FDNY RESCUE
• FDNY Rescue Companies are composed of the elite, highly and
specially trained, most experienced members of the New York Fire
Department. A Rescue Company is tasked with responding to and
dealing with specialized fire and rescue incidents that are beyond
the scope and duties of a standard Engine or Ladder Company.
Rescue Companies operate Rescue Trucks, colloquially known as
"tool boxes on wheels", which carry a wide variety of specialized
tools and equipment to aide in operations at technical rescues,
collapse/confined space rescues, water/dive rescues, highangle/below-grade rescues, etc. They respond to all fires within
their response district as well. Rescue 1 operates in Manhattan,
Rescue 2 in Brooklyn, Rescue 3 in the Bronx and north Manhattan
(above 125th street), Rescue 4 in queens, and Rescue 5 in Staten
Island.

First report was a small plane crashed
into the WTC
• When the second plane crashed we knew that
everything that we know would never be the
same.
• People were being evacuated out of the city.
All mass transit(subway’s / buses) was
stopped. All the bridges and tunnels were
closed. People were running, screaming,
crying, trying to call loved ones….
