The New York City Fire Museum will mark the fourteenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center with a memorial service commemorating the supreme sacrifice made by 343 members of the FDNY. The memorial service will be held this Friday at 1pm inside the Museum's permanent 9-11 memorial. In attendance will be FDNY Chief of Department James E. Leonard, FDNY First Deputy Commissioner Robert Turner, many active and retired FDNY members.
The New York City Fire Museum contains the first permanent memorial to the 343 FDNY members who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Housed in two adjoining rooms, this solemn skyâ€lit tribute includes a black marble and tile memorial with pictures of the FDNY members lost in the attacks; the bunker coat and helmet of FDNY Chaplain Mychal Judge, cases displaying tools used and items recovered from the Ground Zero recovery effort; newspaper coverage of the attacks and images of nationwide tributes to the FDNY; and a wallâ€size timeline chronicling that day's tragic events.
The New York City Fire Museum will be open, free of charge, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday September 11th.
