May they rest easy. As a 2nd generation firefighter, I am honored to carry on the tradition(s) of remembering the brave men and women who gave their lives rescuing Americans who were trapped in the World Trade Centers. God bless the United States of America.

He gets left out often since he doesn’t fit neatly into any of the other slots. Glad to see they included the fallen paramedics.

Hopefully if’s still in caring hands someplace.

These freeloaders will get their care for free. Oh wait, it’s not free, but is being subsidized by taxpayers and perhaps other ambulance users.
No wonder why Chicago is all screwed up

it should not be an issue because ff are highly trained and the rm tower poses challanges too because they can hit the bucket on trees when turning

i am not a fan of mm ladders at all it looks nice though
