SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
Squad 252 responded at 9:00 am on September 11, 2001 to the 5th alarm call to the World Trade Centers in lower Manhattan. Two commercial airlines were hijacked and intentionally crashed into the twin towers. Thousands were murdered in the worst terrorist attack in American history. 343 of the FDNY's bravest firemen made the ultimate sacrifice that morning while evacuating over 25,000 civilians from the towers. Six of Squad 252's finest members on duty that morning never returned, Lieutenant Timothy Higgins, Firefighter Tarel Coleman, Firefighter Pete Langone, Firefighter Pat Lyons, Firefighter Tommy Kuveikis and Firefighter Kevin Prior.
