      I don’t understand why people admire celebrities so much. I used to think they could do something I can’t do by remembering all their lines and everything. Then I started seeing all these bloopers videos and stuff and realized how many times they have to do it until they get it right. There’s no do-overs with firefighters. Either they do it right the first time or someone can die. That’s Admirable ❤️‍🔥💯🥰

    Im a now retired Fireman from Michigan. My buddy & I had the privilege to ride with Rescue 2 in 1990 for a week. Then later 50E & 19L in the Bronx. I learned so much from these guys. It changed my whole career. There were a few Chiefs that looked the other way when we arrived in our Bunker gear from MI & went to work with the companies. I actually wore FDNY boots & a coat because the guys all wanted to try out the gear we had. We all learned from each other and gained life long friendships. Many of the guys we worked with died on 9/11. My heart still hurts. I’ll never forget any of them! RIP brothers.

    I had the privilege to be a firefighter for 25 years with some of the greatest men and woman in the north of England, like all families we argued and fight, but we all knew when It matted they would be there for you. On this terrible day I was thinking about getting for a night shift when I watched this horror unfold. On arriving at my fire station to start my shift I have never found a more somber and quiet place, the off going crews were just sitting around totally stunned. It became clear that their thoughts were not so much for the lost fireman but more for the families left behind. That might sound harsh, but I think it shows compassion. They knew they could do nothing for those lost but wondered how they could help those left behind. I know a great many uk fireman dug deep in their pockets to help those left behind. Like myself a great many uk firefighters lost NYFD friends in this tragedy . we all knew how big their hearts and hospitality were and many a tear was quietly shed in private. We remember them everyday and they will never be forgotten as long as there is a fireman alive.

    On Sept 11, 2001, while responding to Box Alarm 8087, 403 of my Brother police officers, paramedics, and firefighters gave their lives while safely evacuating over 25k people from the World Trade Center complex. They didn't ask anyone who they voted for, where they lived, the name of their god, or how much was in their bank account. They just kept climbing, even after the first tower fell. Most were never identified or recovered.
    17 years later, over 120 FDNY personnel alone are listed as having died from exposure to Ground Zero. Ground Zero is STILL killing those who responded. We will NOT go silently.

    I still carry the extreme sadness and pain from that day. Seeing those fire fighters enter the Twin Towers and then the collapse. Then seeing the survivors gathering, covered in dust, sitting on the curb in disbelief, checking on each other and pouring water over their faces. Then the sounds of the personal body alarms of those not moving; piercing the silence, eerily counting the souls lost. It was just overwhelming. I will never ever forget the cruelty of that day. They will always be my hero’s. Firefighters come to save you. ❤

    What really broke me up was just how many NYFD Firefighters went into and stayed in the towers - knowing that they were going to die - and they could have easily escaped and survived, but that bond is too strong and they will not leave their men behind. That's not only commendable, but it's damned heartbreaking. I remember seeing some photos from that day, and those faces knew they were not going to make it, but they stayed at their post. I reckon that's a bond that firefighters share world-wide, but the NYFD Firefighters are the best of the best.

You've got to be able to climb dizzing heights,dive in the swiftest most forbidding waters and still love your fellow man even when the do not deserve it. You've got to work the most gruesome traffic accidents and treat those who have attack family members, friends and fellow firemen. They stand up when the call for help in the most impossible of all situations goes out.

    This is got to be one of the most powerful documentaries I've ever seen when it comes to emergency rescue services, it's a terrible time that day on 9/11. Some people think the job is fun, challenging, demanding and sometimes well worth while, but it sometimes can be dangerous by putting their lives on the line in-order to save others and when you lose one of your own, they still find their bodies and bring them out to see if they're accounted for and bring them back home to their loved ones, (family, friends and colleagues). They''ll always have our respects both living and deceased, for those living today, they carry one with their traditions of saving lives, that is what they do best. Just do their very best, learn everything they know from past experiences comparing to the incidents they're facing now and try and save as many lives as they can. R.I.P. to the fire and rescue personals of 9/11.
