Ladder Company 3 of the FDNY responded to the World Trade Center on 9/11. Led by Captain Patrick “Paddy” Brown, they were last heard saying “This is 3 truck and we’re still heading up”. Ladder 3 lost 11 members when the North Tower collapsed. May their heroism never be forgotten.

Capt. Paddy Brown (FDNY 3 Truck/Ladder 3): “I’m on the 35th floor, okay, okay?. Just relay to the command post we’re trying to get up. There’s numerous civilians at all stairwells, numerous burn injuries are coming down. I’m trying to send them down first.
Apparently, it’s above the 75th floor.
I don’t know if they got there yet. Okay.
Three Truck and we are still heading up.
Okay? Thank you.”
Command Post to Ladder 3:
“Command Post to Ladder 3, get out
of the building!”
Capt. Paddy Brown responded:
“This is the officer of
Ladder Co. 3. I refuse the order!
I am on the 44th floor and we have
too many burned people with me.
I’m not leaving them!”
These are the last radio transmissions from Captain Patrick “Paddy” Brown, Commanding Officer of FDNY’s 3 Truck (Ladder 3).
