INFORMATIONAL RALLY

ASK THESE CITIZENS IF THEIR SAFETY WAS AT RISK!!

PATROLS 1, 2 AND 3 RESPONDED TO WTC TRAGEDY ON 9/11. THEY WERE EVACUATING CIVILIANS WHEN THE TOWERS COLLAPSED. MANY, BARELY ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES. ONE DIDN'T!! EVERY OFF DUTY MEMBER OF THE FIRE PATROL, UPON HEARING OF THIS DISASTER, RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY AND STAYED FOR MONTHS DIGGING AT THE PIT.
SOME ARE NOW SUFFERING FROM HEALTH ISSUES.

OUR MEMBERS RECEIVED CERTIFICATES OF RECOGNITION FROM THE FDNY
At the first WTC bombing in 1993.....the Patrol was up in the Towers leading
CIVILIANS down by making a human chain and lighting their way out with
flashlights

4 Group received a Meritorious Service Award for removing CIVILIANS from a
multiple dwelling during an all hands

1 Group received an MSA for removing a CIVILIAN (an elderly woman) from a stalled
elevator during the last blackout

Two Patrolmen intervened in a shooting
across from quarters at #1 a couple of years ago

On TWO occasions the members at #3 have intervened in
felonies on the block
One was an alleged rape....4 group
One was intervening and stopping a push in robbery/possible rape
Girl opens door the guy pushes his way in

There has been at least one instance of the members responding on the
block for a baby not breathing, and one for a mattress fire.

MANY OF OUR DEDICATED MEN ARE TRAINED EMT'S

MANY OF OUR MEN BUY THEIR OWN UP TO DATE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THE BFU DOES NOT PROVIDE IT.

THE ABOVE RESCUES WERE PERFORMED IN RECENT YEARS.
HOW FAR BACK WOULD YOU LIKE US TO GO!!!!
