FDNY Ladder 3
From Wikipedia:
FDNY Ladder Company 3 is a fire company in the 6th Battalion, 1st Division of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY). Ladder Company 3 is one of two Ladder Companies in the FDNY's 6th Battalion and has firefighting stewardship over a several square block area of Manhattan’s East Village.
Ladder Company 3 received some of the heaviest casualties of any fire company in the FDNY, losing most of its men in the September 11th attacks.[1] The company reported to the north tower of the World Trade Center, where Captain Patrick "Paddy" Brown and his men were last reported on the 40th floor of the tower.[2] The company reported to the WTC running “heavy” meaning that it had more men than would actually be on a shift (tour), as the attacks came during a shift change and both shifts ended up reporting to duty.
Sheathed in plastic and US and FDNY flags, workers prepare to lower Ladder 3's apparatus into the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
Ladder Company 3 consists of at least 25 men. Ladder 3 is part of the FDNY's 1st Division, in its 6th Battalion. The company is located at 108 E. 13th St., and also serves as the Battalion Chief's headquarters of the 6th Battalion. The company was created on September 11, 1865 and is one of New York’s oldest ladder companies.[3]
