September 11, 2001 — We Remember. 🇺🇸

25 years later, we continue to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We especially honor the 343 members of the FDNY who made the ultimate sacrifice while running toward danger to save others. Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to duty will never be forgotten.

We also remember the police officers, EMS providers, military members, and countless civilians who lost their lives that day, as well as the families and loved ones who continue to carry their loss.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸

On July 10th at approximately 11:15 PM, CFD responded to 217 West 6th Street for a structure fire. Upon arrival, firefighters found flames showing from the front of the building. Firefighters quickly made entry and knocked the fire down. Off duty firefighters were called in for manpower. Firefighters spent alot of time searching for fire spread due to the building's construction and many false ceilings. The fire is still under investigation.
