Memories of the 2001 terror attacks remain vivid for some first responders. A helmet worn during the response is now on display, serving as a reminder of that time. It belongs to a retired fire captain who was part of an urban rescue team.

This captain was deployed to help almost immediately after the attacks. His experiences include the sights and smells of fires still burning. Further details about his story and others like it are available from the source, which has been speaking with first responders who helped at Ground Zero and the Pentagon.
