Capt. Paddy Brown (FDNY 3 Truck/Ladder 3): “I’m on the 35th floor, okay, okay?. Just relay to the command post we’re trying to get up. There’s numerous civilians at all stairwells, numerous burn injuries are coming down. I’m trying to send them down first. Apparently, it’s above the 75th floor.I don’t know if they got there yet. Okay. Three Truck and we are still heading up. Okay? Thank you.”Command Post to Ladder 3:“Command Post to Ladder 3, get outof the building!” Capt. Paddy Brown responded: “This is Captain Paddy Brown, I am the officer of Ladder Co. 3. and I refuse the order! I am on the 44th floor and we have too many burned people with me. I'm not leaving them!”These are the last radio transmissions from Captain Patrick “Paddy” Brown, Commanding Officer of FDNY’s 3 Truck (Ladder 3). Capt. Brown had with him that day the offgoing shift as well as their relief. 11 firefighters (including Capt. Brown) from Ladder 3 died that day.Today we remember those who we lost.

Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” -Gen George Patton ... See MoreSee Less
