Good Stuff 👍

Rob Morris is from New York he was a firefighter in New York City for 40 years so back in 1973 he joined the FDNY and was assigned to either an engine or ladder company in The Bronx, after that he got promoted to lieutenant in either an engine ladder or squad company then in 2002 he got promoted to captain and joined Rescue 1 at 530 West 43rd Street between 10th and 11th Avenue on the lower east side in Midtown Manhattan just north of 34th Street which is also north of Hudson Yards, he joined the company after his good friend Terry Hatton died in the World Trade Center collapse on September 11th 2001, 3 guys of Rescue 1 remained in there after the attack in 2002 but there may have been more of them that did survive with the 3 guys such as Paul HashHagen, Joel Kanasky, Alfred Benjamin, Anthony Tedesco, Todd Smith, and a few others, here are the 11 guys from Rescue 1 that died on 9/11: Terry Hatton, Dennis Mojica, Dave Weiss, Danny Duddy, Joe Angelini Sr, Bill Henry, Mike Montessi, Gary Geidel, Brian Sweeney, Gerry Nevins, and then Joe Angelini Sr’s son Joe Angelini Jr from Ladder 4 died with his father in the north tower when it collapsed, also in 2007 before Alfred Benjamin retired the guys of Rescue 1 including Rob Morris responded to a 10-60 (major emergency) on West 38th Street and 6th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen just 4 blocks from Engine 34 Ladder 21, the private utility worker was excavating and he was down about 15 feet under the street, and his jackhammer contacted a high voltage conduit, which caused an explosion and a flash and he also received some burns, they were taking out these old conduits and adding some new conduits and he was not electrocuted but he did receive a shock, alright and he was removed and tended to. Now I got that same exact explanation of the reason for Rescue 1’s response from Rob Morris himself just 6 years before he retired from the FDNY on his 34th year of firefighting, so if you look up FDNY close up special operations command on KZfaq you’ll see the uploader was the New York City Fire Department and they have emergency medical service with station 32 in Brooklyn, engine company with Engine 23 in Midtown Manhattan, ladder company with Ladder 176 and Engine 233 in Brooklyn, special operations command with Squad 61, Squad 18, Squad 1, Squad 41, Squad 252, Squad 270, Squad 288, Rescue 2, Rescue 3, Rescue 4, Rescue 5, and most featured Rescue 1, fire safety with one of the captains of the FDNY, Hotdog, firefighter Medina, lieutenant Mancuso, and the fire zone, and much more, Rescue 1 was organized in 1915 and celebrated 100 years almost 8 years ago in 2015. Rescue 2 was organized almost 10 years later in 1925. Rescue 3 was organized almost 6 years after Rescue 2 in 1931. Rescue 4 was organized the same day as Rescue 3 on June 1 1931. Rescue 5 was organized almost 17 years later in 1948. All 5 rescues, all 6 squads, multiple hazmats, more than 100 engine and ladder companies more than 40 battalion chiefs and more than 10 division chiefs responded to the WTC on 9/11.

When did the capt. Retire??
