Firefighter Responds at the World Trade Center           

Marianne McCormack is pictured in front of rumble and ruins post 9/11/01.  The work of firefighters, and other public employees, was crucial following this tragedy.  Women and men alike aided in both rescuing and recovery during and after this event.  Many hands were needed and involvement of Academy members was absolutely pivotal. 

To read more about the crucial role that females played in the FDNY during, before, and after 9/11/01, visit LaborArts’ Women Firefighters in New York City.
