As best we can determine E-6 reached the 43rd. fl. before being ordered to leave the building. FF's John Butler and Robert Emans repositioned the Rig under the West St. walkway as to avoid being struck by falling debris and human bodies. Both Butler and Emans escaped injury. Firefighter Green is the only member from E-6 to escape from stairway "B" to the street before WTC-1 Collapsed, (see pg.2)

We believe Members from £-7 & L-1 managed to pull FF. Green out of the dust cloud to safety. FF.Green was admitted to St Frances* Hospital with Pulmonary dysfunction and was released on 9/13/01.

OPERATIONS: FF Hayden E-9 observed from quarters airliner striking WTC Tower 1. Lt. Fody PCOT E-9 and Capt. Jonas L-6 ordered both units to respond. En route units recevied response ticket 2-2 8087 box. E-9 responded with Satellite Apparatus. On arrival at WTC Lt. Fody ordered Pumper positioned at Vesey and West STs. and Siamese supplied. Officer and FF's Blaich, O'Sullivan, Hayden entered building with 3 lengths 2 1/2" hose, S/P kit, Masks with extra 45 min cylinder per member. Co. reported to DC Hayden at Fire Command Station ordered to team with E-15 and advance to

Operations: continued Fire area via stairs. E-9 began advance via B stair. At approximately the 11 floor Capt. Jonas L-6 transmitted "Mayday" for a member of E-9 for chest pain. Lt. Fody descended approximately one flight to asses member's condition. Lt. Fody located FF Hayden at stair landing. FF Hayden was helped into floor area by Lt. and members of E-9. At this time FF Hayden stated the pain had abated and that he was able to continue. Lt. Fody further assessed members condition (pulse, breathing etc.) and decided to resume advance. At approximately the 20 floor E-9 entered floor area to rest and rehydrate. Upon reentering stairwell severe rumbling and swaying of building was felt. Following this a transmission via HT notified of "partial collapse on 66 floor". (This motion of the structure was actually caused by the collapse of WCT 2 although this was not known at this time). Motion of building ceased and building was determined to be sound. E-9 attempted to continue advance. At approximately the 23 floor E-9 encountered members descending stairs and were informed that order to evacuate by members had been given. E-9 then reversed direction and descended stair. Members exited building via West ST. and proceeded north on West to just past Vesey. St. Lt. Fody attempted to reassemble company and members began to remove bunker gear to cool down. Within 2-3 minutes 1 WTC began to collapse. Lt. Fody instructed members to run up West St. and take cover. Members moved away from building and took cover behind vehicles parked on West. St. The ensuing dust, smoke and debris cloud and shock wave blocked sunlight, caused difficulty in breathing and disoriented members. As smoke lifted and dust settled. (10 to 15 minutes) Lt. Fody again attempted to reassemble members in anticipation of roll call of units. FF's Blaich, O'Sullivan, and Price were quickly located. (FF Price had entered building separately and exited safely) FF's Allese and Hayden were located within 30-40 minutes after physical search and repeated attempts at HT contact. E-9, as a unit, returned to area of collapse in attempt to assist search and rescue of L-6 now known to be trapped within collapse area. Attempt was made, under command of BC Blaich to reach L-6 members via garage entrance on Vesey St. with charged handline. With this avenue blocked and area potentially unstable, members were ordered away from area. (Information was soon received that L-6 had extricated themselves and were in a safe area) E-9 now moved to Vesey St. west of West St. to regroup once again. FF Hayden's condition was reassessed, examined by EMS and transported to the hospital via ambulance. Within approximately 20-30 minutes 7 WCT had begun to collapse and members were forced to move further west of Vesey. St. With conditions stabilizing, E-9 reported to BC Blaich who then ordered attempts to be made to supply Satellite. This was accomplished via 5" Sat. hose stretched to Marine Unit. E-9 ordered to return to quarters by BN 1.

OPERATIONS: Engine Co 15 E-15 responded to the WTC 1st due on the 2nd alarm. E-15 arrived at the North tower and was immediately told by the lobby command post (under D-l command) to start our ascent to the upper floors via any stairway available. E-15 found stairway 'A' and began their ascent continually verbally assuring civilians as they exited the building. When we arrived on the 12th floor we assisted a member of Squad. 18 who was light headed and dizzy. This me'mber was not radio equipped. After a short break to assist the member E-15 continued their ascent along with the member of Squad 18. We notified the officer of Squad 18 that this member would operate with E-15 until a later time. E-15 reached approximately the 17th or 18th floor when we notified by civilians evacuating the building via this stairway that a person collapsed on the 15th floor. Lt. Foder ordered 2 men to assist the civilian into the office area so other people could continue evacuating the building. The nearest re-entry was on the 13th floor and the firefighters removed the civilian into this area. After several minutes, when we were unable to make radio contact with these members due to heavy radio traffic, I ordered all members down to the 13th floor to assist. As we assisted the civilian a loud roar occurred, which we believe to be Tower 2 collapsing. Unknown what was actually happening either above us or in Tower 2, we heard radio transmissions by unknown member(s) that the South Tower had just collapsed and to evacuate the North Tower, as there was collapse potential for this tower also. One member of E-15 continued to assist the civilian, as the stairs were very crowded and we started our descent single file down stair 'A'. FF Kelley of Squad 18 assisted Port Authority Police with the evacuation and carrying of an overweight man who could no longer walk. As we reached the base of the stairway in the lobby there were police officers directing civilians out of the building E-15 remained here while assisting these civilians and awaiting the remaining members of the evacuation crew. A member of Rescue 5 (TAG 2) was also present in this stairway and as the removal the obese man was taking some time I sent two men with the member of Rescue 5 to look for a second means of egress. Debris and bodies were coming from the upper floors near our means of egress. The members returned a short time later having found a second means of egress, although not much better than the main egress. All civilians that were occupying stairway 'A' appeared to have been evacuated as the FF's and Police came to the lobby with the obese person. E-15

continued to assist with the removal of this person through the lobby of the North Tower and into the courtyard near building 6. As we crossed the courtyard under falling debris and bodies either falling or jumping from above, we requested assistance from E-24. E-15 (Officer and 2 men on site while ECC and one other member of E-15 were at apparatus already), E24 officer and a member, 1 member of Squad 18, 1 member of Rescue 5 TAG unit, 2 or 3 PA Police officers and the civilian were crossing the courtyard when we heard what appeared to be a jet plane landing on top of us, when in fact the building (North Tower) was collapsing. E-15 was blown into a building (possibly #5), We were struck by falling debris and covered with much dust and materials. After clearing some of the unknown materials from my throat and knowing I was able to still move, I called out to see who was still with me. Two men of E-15 were able to call out to me, no one else answered at this point and we continued to move away from the falling debris as quickly as possible, knowing that the building was collapsing but still not realizing the entire building was collapsing around us. Hearing several men around us as we moved through the thick black cloud, several unknown firemen were able to join us and follow us away from the immediate area while still hearing explosions and having building materials continually falling. As the dust lifted somewhat the firefighters who joined us all dispersed in different directions looking for other members of their units. Disoriented, having difficulty breathing, chest pain and pain from being struck by debris Lt. Foder, FF Wisniewski and FF Brennan were removed from the scene by Metro Care Ambulance to Beth Israel Hospital. In addition FF Salvador E-28 was assisted by E-15 with ankle injury to the ambulance. He was also removed via Metro Care Ambulance to Beth Israel Hospital. FF Mathe and FF Hynes continued to operate at the disaster scene as did other members of E-15 who were on recall. We were able to later learn that all members, PA Police and the civilian were alive, although some were banged up and some hospitalized from the debris and force of the collapse. CD 72's Filed for the following members of E-15 Lt. Foder, FF Brennan, FF Wisniewski. All removed to Beth Israel Hospital. FF Hynes, FF Mathe

E-24 prfcoeded to the lobby of Tower 1 and awaited orders. E-24 was assigned to operate with L-20 and proceeded up STWY "A". Many civilians were self-evacuating in single file as L-20 and E-24 proceeded up the stwy single file. E-24 stopped for a couple of minutes between the 15th and 20th floor to assist with a woman in respitory distress(asthma).

After several minutes the woman, assisted by another civilian, was feeling better and continued her descent. This other civilian stated he was from the 90th floor. He was bleeding from the forehead with minor injuries and claimed that he saw a big fireball on the 90 th floor. He believed that everyone from that floor was able to make it to the stwy and escape. E-24 continued with L-20 up STWY "A". Upon reaching the 27th floor E-24 needed to rest. Two civilians accompanied with a ^pman in a wheelchair were located in the hallway. FF. Billy was ordered to stay with these civilians until he received additional assistance to remove them. E-24 then proceeded to the 35th floor. At this time very few civilians were still coming down STWY "A". E-24 noticed that a staging was being set up on this floor. A Batt. Chief was on this floor. He may have been from the 11th Battalion. E-33, L-5, and L-20 were also on this floor recuperating from the quick ascent up 35 floors. These units stayed on this floor for 5-10 minutes. A Mayday to evacuate the building was heard over the Battalion Chiefs radio, which was on the command channel. Everyone on the floor, including A couple of EMS personnel and a few civilians started towards the exits when the building shook violently. The Chief ordered everyone to the Stairways. It is believed E-33 evacuated towards STWY "C". L-5 and EMS and civilians exited STWY "B". L-20 and E-24 exited STWY "A". LT. Fischer of L-20 was last seen going up Stwy "A" to retrieve a couple of his men. E-24 quickly started its descent. At the 27th floor E-24 stopped for FF. Billy who was still with a wosj^n in a wheelchair. It is believed that E-21 took control of the removal of this woman down the "B" staircase. At the same time FF. Claes had gotten separated from E-24 and passed the rest of the unit on the 27th floor. Proby trainee Byrne, in the commotion, had left his MASK on the 35th floor. He was ordered to continue his descent and to get out of the building and to stop for no one. When E-21 decided to remove the civilian from the 27th floor, E-24 and its two remaining members again started its descent down STWY "A". Upon reaching the 17th floor E-24 accounted a Firefighter at the stairway exit who requested assistance in the removal of civilians from a room. E-24 ordered his members to stay at the Stairway. The lights were now out on the hallways. Upon reaching the room, E-24 noticed a room with approx. 15 FF's and 10 civilians. E-33 and Rescue 3 were present. E-24 was informed by Res-3 that there might not be any way out of the building. E-24 insisted that all personnel were ordered to evacuate and should do so immediately. At this time E-24 saw some of the destruction on West Street. E-24 saw some members and civilians begin to descend STWY "C". E-24 rejoined his members at STWY "A". E-24continued its descent down STWY "A" and encountered FF. Kelly SQ. 18 who requested assistance with a large male civilian, who was injured and unable to walk. FF. Kelly also informed E-24 that STWY "a" was blocked off. E-24 with FF Kelly and a couple of Police officers (port authority or ESU) removed this civilian to the lobby. We made our way to the

•3(3
Northside exit. Visibility was approx 10-15 ft. outside the tower. At this time we also encountered some members from E-15. We all exited toward World Trade Center #6. E-24 officer dumped his mask at this time. As we got to the side wall of WTC #6 a thunderous roar or explosion was heard. The area went completely dark. The area was filled with smoke and debris and immediately following was a gush of wind. This officer attemped to run and made it to the east side of WTC #6. This officer then dove down against the building and was covered with debris. When the falling debris stopped it was still completely darkened down. There were craters all over. E-24 eventually saw a flashlight from WTC #5 . There was a Police officer at this location who stated this was the way out. E-24 officer crawled to this location and was able to exit. E-24 officer could then hear FF. Billy calling a Mayday. E-24 attempted to contact FF. Billy and direct him out. FF. Billy did not respond to E-24 communications. E-24 then called his own Mayday. E-24 then called the Command Post. E-24 received no response to any communications. E-24 then looked for help along Church St. E-24 located FF. Byrne and continued to look for help, a Mask, or any search ropes. E-24 then located L-164 rig and called Manhattan dispatcher and called a Mayday. E-24 made its way to E-7 quarters where a triage center had been set up. A doctor ordered E-24 officer to be transported to hospital with respiratory distress and reddening of the throat. E-24 officer was admitted to Forest Hill Hospital. When released E-24 officer was transported back to quarters at approx. 1600 hr. E-24 control man had descended past E-24 on the 27th floor. Upon reaching the 10th floor an unknown firefighter informed E-24 control (FF. Claes) to exit using STWY "B". E-24 Control saw B-2 FF. Apostol. E-24 Control exited to Engine 24 apparatus when Tower 1 collapsed. E-24 received burns to back. E-24 contol then acted as E-24 chauffeur until 1600 hrs. E-24 supplied TL 12, two handlines, and an Akron New Yorker Muliversal. E-24 Control removed himself to Triage at Styvesant H.S. for treatment. E-24 Back-up (ff.Billy) removed to Downtown Hospital. E-24 Door (FF. Sterling) removed to St. Vincent's Hospital. E-24 Nozzle (FF. Byrne) removed to quarters of E-7.

OPERATIONS: L-9 reported to the Lobby Command Post in the North tower. Ordered by D-1 to ascend Stairway B. We made our way up and got as high as the 31st fir. While on the 31st fir the South tower collapsed. A BC passed on the order to evacuate. We did so, passing the order on to other FF's on the way down. We slowly descended the bldg due to the she*r volume of FF's in the stairwell doing the same. At approx the 11th fir all progress slowed basically to a halt. We were then informed that another stair (C?) was less crowded.

Group No. 2

We passed this order on verbally to all FFs within shouting distance. Radio's were virtually useless. We made our way to the lobby in the other stairwell. We were then instructed by a Be to make our way north and to get away from the building. We did not have all of our members in the immediate vicinity at this time. Due to the numerous FF's entering the stairwells as we descended, we were spread out throughout the stairwell. We tried to contact them all via radio as we headed north. I did come upon two of my members as we made our way away from the building, sitting on a median. I instructed them to move further away. They did so. Shortly thereafter the North tower collapsed. We ran for our lives. The dust caught us but not any large debris.Upon exiting the dust I was able to contact four of my members either visually or via radio. As we headed away from the debris, I was trying to locate a command post or staging area or anyone. Unfortunately, there were very few initial responders left. After getting cleaned up at a local warehouse (a couple of members had minor injuries and required medical assistance) the rest of us made our way to the nearest firehouse (Ladder 8). There I learned of a staging area at Ladder 20. We made our way there. At this time I was still confident all of men were safe and sent one man to Ladder 9's quarters to await the arrival of any members we had not yet contacted. I remained at Ladder 20 to await any word there. Later that evening I made my way to Ladder 9. FF s Jeff Walz, Gerard Baptiste and John Tierney are still among the missing. The remaining members all had minor injuries requiring medical leave.

Upon arrival at the WTC L-12 reported to the Command Post located in the lobby of the Marriot Hotel. Since the Officer of L-12 was given their assignment none of the surviving members know who at the command post specifically gave them their assignment. L-12's assignment was to search the upper floors of the Hotel. They took the C stairway up to the 14 floor and began their searches floor by floor thru the 18th floor. While in the C stairway proceeding to the 19th floor, Tower 2 collapsed knocking all the members down the stairs. The Company was intact with the Officer and 7 FF's he had with him. Being in a stairway, they were not aware of what had happened, but knew it was catastrophic, and quickly headed down the stairs leaving any tools that they had lost in the confusion. When they reached the 4th & 5th floor area they were unable to make their way any further down due to debris from the collapse. Lt. Petti told the members to stay where they were and he and FF Juarbe would go back up the stairs to get the tcx.-is and LSR that they had left behind on the 18th floor when they made their decision to get out as quickly as possible. As Lt. Petti and FF Juarbe started back up a mayday was being transmitted by a member of L-4. Hearing the mayday several times, Lt. Petti answered it, after not hearing any response from the command post. As they worked there way up to the 19th floor they stayed in contact with the member giving the mayday (he did not know his location to guide them) until they could not go any further up. They took the tools they could find and proceeded back down, still looking for the trapped member, all the while staying in contact with rest of the company which was still searching for a way out. The members who had remained on the 4th(?) floor found a. hole in the debris and were starting to work there way out when Tower 1 collapsed. FF Mullan had started to work his way up the stairway to inform the members coming down of the possible way out and to look for the missing member and was only 10 feet away when the collapse occurred. Lt. Petti, FF Juarbe and FF Mullan did not make it out. The remaining 5 members slide down the debris and made it to safety. Captain Robert Norcross Ladder 12 Gp 20

FF Haines worked the nite tour of'''9/10, was relieved and then responded to the scene with Bn. 4 when they passed quarters. He reported to the staging area then operated after the collapse of #2. FF Barry was in qtrs but on VL. He and FF Olsen (who had been relieved from the nite tour) went to the scene on foot. They were seen together at the staging area on West St. Prob. FF Allen was relieved from the nite tour but rode to the scene and operated with Engine Co. 4. His remains were recovered with the remains of other members of Engine 4. Nobody that I have spoken with has reported seeing L-15 in tower #1. It is possible that as the company was running up West St. the second plane hit #2 and the company operated there. The remains of Lt. Leavey and the frontpiece of FF Oelschlagers helmet were found in the footprint of tower 2. Respectfully Submitted, Capt. L/15 Gpl6
