New York’s firefighters unions are calling out federal lawmakers, demanding that they heed their promise to “never forget” the sacrifices incurred during the 9/11 terror attacks and the subsequent health-related issues.
Standing together on Sunday outside of FDNY Firehouse, Engine Company 10 and Ladder Company 10 located at 124 Liberty St. — near where many firefighters responded to the attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001 — the union reps made the call to action after Congress ripped apart a bill that would see the health costs of the rank and file suffering from 9/11 illnesses paid for only through 2040.
