Description
As I took a walk in Brooklyn in the Red Hook area, I stumbled across this tribute to seven firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11 that someone had etched into the wet concrete of a new sidewalk.
Located just outside the Red Hook, Brooklyn end of the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel, this firehouse was one of the first firehouses to respond to the September 11, 2001 attack on the WTC.
On that day Ladder 101 lost all seven men who answered that call. Their brothers from Engine 202, who also answered that call, were uninjured. Both the engine and ladder trucks were destroyed.
