FDNY Rescue 4 Comes Back
On August 13 and 14, 2021, representatives of The Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund joined with current and retired members of FDNY Rescue 4 at the Hall of Flame in Phoenix, Arizona. Museum Director Chuck Montgomery was joined by Phoenix Fire Department, FDNY Captain John Ferry (ret.) and restoration team volunteer Mark Anello, in presenting the vehicle and acknowledging the efforts of all involved in the procurement and restoration of the truck. The dedication of the restored Res4cue Response Apparatus from 9/11 proved to be a bonding and emotional weekend as the more than 100 people present remembered the nine brave men who rode together to the Towers on that fateful day. The members of Rescue 4 lost included Captain Brian Hickey, Lieutenant Kevin Dowdell, Firefighters Terry Farrell, Bill Mahoney, Durrell Bronko Pearsall, Pete Nelson, Pete Brennan and Al Tarasiewicz (R5) and Mike Cawley (L136). The passing of 20 years does not diminish the brave effort to save lives that horrific day. This vehicle has a permanent home at the Hall of Flame to educate future generations and to keep the memory of all 343 brave FDNY firefighters alive. Let us NEVER FORGET! God bless them, their families and our brothers in fire service. - Fire News photos by Robert Bombiadi; Hall of Flame Museum
