Battalion Chief Fred Scheffold

Fred Claud Scheffold Jr. wasn't the kind of guy who would wait around for a doctor to come if he saw somebody suffering. The New York City Fire Department battalion chief would rush to the aid of a stranger -- even if there were no fire involved and he was off-duty -- and give first aid. He was killed trying to reach the 90th floor of Tower Two of the World Trade Center when the skyscraper collapsed. Scheffold is survived by a wife and three daughters.
