Never Forget 9/11: Reflections from the FDNY with Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore
Notas do episódio
As we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, the FDNY carries both profound pain and enduring pride. We remember the 343 members who were killed that day, those we have since lost to World Trade Center-related illnesses, and the families whose lives were forever changed.
Alongside that grief stands an extraordinary legacy of courage—the bravery of members who, in the face of unimaginable danger, helped as many as 25,000 people escape the World Trade Center. Twenty-five years later, we honor both the lives we lost and the lives their courage helped save.
To help preserve that history, the FDNY Foundation presents “Never Forget 9/11: Reflections from the FDNY,” a five-part podcast series hosted by Gary Sinise. Combining interviews from FDNY Pro archives with newly recorded accounts, the series explores the response, the recovery, the rebuilding of the Department and the responsibilities that remain a quarter of a century later.
In this episode of the FDNY Pro Podcast, host Battalion Chief Jason Cascone welcomes Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore to discuss the special podcast series, and what it means to be at the helm of this Department on this momentous anniversary.
