Rescue Four knew of Death and Sacrifice that Father’s Day. Come September 11th, 2001; Death and Sacrifice would see them again when they raced down from Woodside to the World Trade Center. Where they would join their martyred brothers at the Lord’s Table, including some of the men featured in this documentary.
Very sad I lived blocks away from this fire when I was a little girl .. rip to the heroes that lost their lives. The streets were named after them ! And they will never be forgotten.
It’s sooo eerie, heart wrenching, and ironic to hear the firefighters near the end, that it was already too much and devastating enough for them to lose 3 firefighters at once. This was in June of 2001. Little did they know what was to come three months later, which took 343 more of their brothers and friends, including Captain Hickey. 😔
If you also look carefully, you can also see Chief of Department Peter J. Ganci Jr. and First Deputy Commissioner William M. Feehan sifting through the rubble to find them. Both Chief Ganci and First Deputy Commissioner Feehan will die on 9/11. They were the highest ranking FDNY members to fall that day.
15:42 - 20:08: Sooooo eerie, bone chilling, and ironic to hear those firefighters and others describe what a terrible and unthinkable tragedy it was to lose 3 firefighters at once, and that so long as the FDNY continued to operate, that it would not be the last time such a thing would happen and that there would be more to come....... then 3 months later (this was June, 2001).... There are no words.

Rest in peace to Captain Brian Hickey, who died covering Rescue 3 on 9/11
sadly, this fire and LODD event was overshadowed by the events that occurred in September of that year and is often forgotten about
@@hosedragger-204 it was most definitely not forgotten. Especially by the brothers who operated. They’ll live on forever

Most folks have never heard of this incident because the events of 9/11 completely overshadowed it

Heartbreaking. Was taught early on that there's never a routine fire.
It seemed like an unfathomable tragedy at the time. Little did we know...
RIP Brothers.....
Thanks for posting this, I had heard about this fire but because of 9/11 was kind of overshadowed.
Won’t play
