FDNY Remembrance Rescue Project Rescue 4
F.D.N.Y. Remembrance Rescue Project Rescue 4 Visits Weston Rescue 4 of the Fire Department of New York was the only heavy rescue vehicle to survive the impact of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2011. The nine crewmembers on Rescue 4 that day did not. Immediately after 9/11, Rescue 4 was the only rescue company covering the City of New York. The Remembrance Rescue Project now involves former FDNY Rescue 4 and Rescue 5. After extensive renovation, it allows the Rescue vehicles to serve as mobile memorials to educate, honor and remember the events of 9/11 and all firefighters killed in the line of duty throughout the country each year. On May 3rd, Weston Battalion Chief Hoecherl, Life Safety Educator, Pamela Gorman and the crew of Weston Engine company No. 67 were privileged to be a part of the Remembrance Rescue Project. The YMCA in Weston was one of the stops while here in Broward County for a 2-week period. The children and adults in attendance learned not only about the events of 9/11, but about the heroes who came out of it and how that tragic event impacted the fire service.
