We the firefighters at Engine Company 6 extend
our gratitude for the support, prayers, and encouragement
we have received during this difficult time.

Engine 6 lost four of its men in the tragedy at the
World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
To honor the memory of these firefighters, we have
established the Engine 6 Memorial Fund for the purpose
of providing financial assistance for the family members of the FDNY.


**** Neptune Engine 6 was organized in 1756 ****
The Company's quarters are near the World Trade Center site,
and because of this Engine 6 had a specially-built pump powerful
enough to push water to the top of the 110-story towers.
Engine 6 was a first responder on September 11 and stationed itself on
West Street at Vesey Street and hooked into the Trade Center standpipe there.
That engine was destroyed in the collapse of the North Tower, and has
been replaced temporarily by an older engine.
The flag draped outside the Engine 6 firehouse is from somewhere in the
Trade Center, and had been placed by a firefighter on top of the destroyed
Engine 6 at the site. When the Engine 6 wreckage was hauled away,
the flag was brought to the firehouse.

"My Worst Nightmare"
Lt. John D. Kiernan has been a firefighter for more than 23 years.
He spent 17 years with the NYC Fire Department's elite rescue units

"I retired two months ago, but I had to see
what was going on. I had to find my brothers"

Department Forever Changed
"It has always been our tradition that we would find
our own and take our own home.
Now it's a couple of days later and I don't know if
that's going to be possible.
In that respect, the traditions of the fire department
are going to be forever changed.
The upper echelon and members of the FDNY
are going to be changed forever.
We lost apparently alot of the superstars of the
department and the up-and-coming superstars
of the fire department."

"As bad as I feel as a rescue worker,
I thank God I can do something.
The families have no outlet.
They just continue to wait helplessly for word
one way or the other word that may never come."

"For the first time in my life I saw firefighters discouraged"
Lt. John D. Kiernan - September 13, 2001
New York City Fire Department
