🔺 HIGH-ANGLE TECHNICAL RESCUE

At about 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, the FDNY responded to 3 World Trade Center in Manhattan, where five people were trapped in an elevator inside a blind shaft near the 32nd floor.

With no direct access to the elevator car, two firefighters—one from Rescue 1 and one from Squad 18—entered the blind shaft at the 47th floor and were lowered approximately 175 feet to reach the trapped occupants. The two firefighters, assisted by members from Engine 10 and Ladder 10, brought one civilian to safety, ascending back up the 175 feet via rope.

After the initial high-angle technical rescue, members were able to gain access to the elevator car by breaching a wall in a bathroom on the 32nd floor and removed the four remaining individuals.

One civilian and two firefighters suffered minor injuries.

This is the specialized training, technical expertise and teamwork FDNY members bring to the most challenging emergencies in New York City.

Gone but not forgotten.

Chief of Department John Esposito and FDNY members gathered Saturday for a wreath-laying ceremony commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 23rd Street Fire.

On Oct. 17, 1966, a 5-alarm fire that began in a storage area of the Wonder Drug Store at 23rd Street and Broadway in Manhattan led to the collapse of the building's ground floor. Twelve members, representing nearly every rank from deputy chief to probationary firefighter, made the Supreme Sacrifice that day. It was the greatest loss of life in FDNY history before the September 11th attacks.

The FDNY will Never Forget Deputy Chief Thomas A. Reilly and Firefighter William F. McCarron of Division 3; Battalion Chief Walter J. Higgins of Battalion 7; Lieutenant Joseph Priore, Firefighters James V. Galanaugh, Joseph Kelly, Daniel L. Rey and Bernard A. Tepper of Engine Company 18; and Lieutenant John J. Finley, Firefighters John G. Berry, Rudolph F. Kaminsky and Carl Lee of Ladder Company 7.

In September, University of Iowa Professor Joe Sulentic returned to Engine 55 in Manhattan with more than 20 current and former students to commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11th.

In the aftermath of 9/11, Professor Sulentic and his students raised funds to help the company rebuild and purchase essential items for the firehouse. They continued that tradition this year by raising additional funds for the house and by visiting New York City.

During their visit, the group toured the firehouse, met with our members and reflected on a connection that has endured for 25 years.

Thank you to Professor Sulentic and his students for their continued generosity and support. #NeverForget
