We remember 343. But the numbers did not stop there. Twenty five years after September 11, firefighters and EMTs continue to suffer illnesses and deaths connected to the attacks and the rescue and recovery efforts. Michael Ciampo reflects on the numbers that continue to climb.

The night before 9/11, 11 FDNY firefighters were together at a party. The next day, none of them would see the sunset. Twenty five years later, we remember them. Their families. Their brotherhood. Their sacrifice. We promised never to forget. #NeverForget #September11 #FDNY #Firefighter #911Anniversary

Ever had a fireground communication go sideways? Bryan Reid shares a couple of real examples, including one where a misunderstanding about a hydrant created a pretty serious problem for the incoming crew. You can’t eliminate every communication problem on the fireground. But you can make sure your crews understand the tactical plan before the tones drop. Especially when you’re coordinating ventilation and interior attack. Train it before you need it. #Firefighter #FireDepartment #Fireground #FirefighterTraining #FireService #AtticFire #FireEngineering
