Ladder 3
FDNY Ladder Company 3 known as "Recon" is a fire company in the 6th Battalion, 1st Division of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).
Ladder Company 3 received some of the heaviest casualties of any fire company in the FDNY, losing most of its men in the September 11 attacks.[1] The company reported to the north tower of the World Trade Center, where Captain Patrick "Paddy" Brown and his men were last known to be on the 40th floor of the tower. The company arrived at the WTC running “heavy”, meaning that they carried more men than would actually be on a shift (tour), as the attacks came during a shift change, and both shifts remained on duty.
The members it lost on September 11 are Captain Patrick (Paddy) J. Brown, Lt. Kevin W. Donnelly, Michael Carroll, James Raymond Coyle, Gerard Dewan, Jeffrey John Giordano, Joseph Maloney, John Kevin McAvoy, Timothy Patrick McSweeney, Joseph J. Ogren, and Steven John Olson,
