Yup, I was in Engine 10 as a volunteer firefighter back when I was in my sophomore year of high school, my high school was located on Church Street in Lower Manhattan so every day after school I would go to work at my old firehouse on Liberty Street, but unfortunately on September 11th I was off from work that day attending school with 10 other students that were also volunteer firefighters in the FDNY, some were in Ladder 108, some in Rescue 2, some on Rescue 3, some in Engine 216, some in the 35th Battalion as backup aids, some in Ladder 119, some in Engine 211, some in Engine 3, some in Ladder 12, some also extra aids in the 7th Battalion, and many more, but then our principal of our old school went door to door to pull all the students that were volunteer firefighters in the FDNY to tell us that we needed to go to work, so we brought our gear with us to school that morning just in case of a fire drill or a real fire in the school, not knowing we were gonna respond to the largest fire in the world that no one would imagine, after the word got out to us we ran in our classrooms, took off our sneakers jumped into our boots and pants, threw our radios on, threw our hoods on, threw bunker coats on, slid on our gloves, put on our breathing apparatuses such our air cylinder, with the mask, placed on our helmets, grabbed our regular civilian clothes such as our sneakers and sweatshirts to put in our backpacks, zipped up our backpacks, had our stuff with us and ran out the door, once we reached the box we could see the office workers desperately needing to get out to survive from the choking smoke that filled the entire top of tower 1, then we saw United 175 surgically hit the 2nd tower we found out American 11 directly hit the 1st tower we though we were dealing with an aircraft accident here but we weren’t so we had no clue of what was going on but then we remembered the 1993 attack so we said to ourselves we’re under attack, forget the accident, we’re under attack let’s go, we get in the lobby of tower 1 and we we incinerated bodies all over the lobby and this was from the jet fuel that came from American 11 and came down the elevator shafts and that’s when the doors opened the bodies incinerated almost immediately, that was the same thing in tower 2, then a minute to 10AM the south tower came down, a number of my firefighter friends were killed, but 3 of my firefighter friends made it out with injuries after the tower collapsed on them, we saw that a fireman was on the ground motionless we identified that fireman was Father Mychael Judge our Fire Chaplain of the FDNY, he died while running up the escalator with us to get out of the way of the falling tower, a floodlight and a weak flashlight were used to see who it was, we brought Judge to a nearby church and laid his body on the altar, at 2 minutes to 10:30AM we find out that the north tower was falling as well, we got out of the way and I got down with Chief Pfiefer and Jules Naudet and another volunteer firefighter from my engine company jumped on top of me to protect me from this, then you know what happens next, I go to a nearby hospital, I get back to school a few weeks later they breathe a sigh of relief that I was ok and not dead, I spend the 8 months digging through the rubble, and return back to school. NEVER FORGET 9-11-01 ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL
@@gabrielking3349 meaning I was an intern there volunteering in firefighting the FDNY does have volunteer fire departments around the city but they are mostly around beaches and since a lot of their volunteers around the beach areas in the 5 boroughs were full and not interested in having any interns at the time the FDNY took me as an intern before 9/11 and they gave me a recap on things that I had knowledge in from my family that were full time firefighters

God bless him. Thank you for your service, Sir. Rest In Peace. It would have been an honor to know him. Bless his heart.
I just wrote a 9-11 remembrance presentation about joe he seemed like an incredible man
They don't make them like him anymore
Both Joe and his son perished on 9/11. His son in the South Tower and Joe was outside and underneath the North Tower when it fell.
He was 63, when died in the first tower that collapsed. He supposed to retire in two years.
Rest in Peace.
