It truly hurts my heart to watch these old FDNY videos, Knowing that so many of the firefighters in these videos made that ultimate sacrifice without the slightest hesitation on 9/11. God bless them and may they R.I.P
-
Christopher Blackwell of Rescue 3 was the last interview heard on this video. He was killed on 9/11/01.. RIP brother, you will be missed.

Irish and Italian New Yorkers!! Best FDNY guys. God bless them
-
It struck me when the captain said people will jump out of the window no matter how far it is to fall if it's a choice between the fire and going out the window. This was shown to be true in the towers fire.

“How’s my ears? “”Looks like a good sunburn kid.”. Love these guys
-
I loved how they always wore their airsets, every call, but NEVER masked up, sitting there coughing up a lung

What another great vintage FDNY video from 1991. At 16:22, we see Chris Blackwell and Ray Meisenheimer. Requiescat in Pace brothers, 9/11, never forget, always remember. There is also another great Rescue 3 video from 1985 as well.

My Dad (John Mulroy) 30 years in the FDNY most of it at Rescue-3

It's amazing it took years after this video for FDNY to finally get bunker gear with the number of calls they take.
-
@14:00 "any firefighter will tell you a person caught between a fire and a window will jump, no matter the height" he had no idea how right that would be 10 years later.

@jamesmkalbaugh Chris was my cousin and i will always miss him. I myself am a cop in Baltimore and am just hitting my 20th year a milestone i believe Chris had just hit prior to 9/11. Our whole family has been involved in public service. It is a noble thing we all do to serve our communities. RIP all who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and be safe all my brothers and sisters.

Something that haunts me as a fireman who works on a heavy rescue If you worked on a rescue on 9/11 you didn’t come home
-
RIP Chris! You were the best of the best
-
We will do it again! 🇺🇸fantastic video. Thank you FDNY!!!
-
I knew when I was 5 I wanted to be a fireman. Never changed. 37+ years, now I work for a county Fire Marshal’s Office.
-
I remember this series. I also remember attending Al Ronaldson's funeral back in '91. Looking at some of the faces on the 9/11 poster at the firehouse, I recognise some in this video who were lost on that day. RIP brothers. Thank you for this video.

Its one thing to be a firemane..its another to be a FDNY fireman..
-
We do what we do because of the love of the job and our willingness to always be ready to help those in need.

Crazy this is only 10 years before 9/11, because it looks ancient compared to footage of 9/11 where it looks particularly modern, even though it’s 19 years since then.
