My wife went to NYU and they had a fire drill early that morning. Some firefighters were there. Who knows how many of those guys died later that day.

Impossible to know which ladder/engine/squad was conducting it but there’s a few near NYU. Engines 33 and 24, Ladders 20, 9, and 5 and Squad 18.

All of them suffered losses (mostly heavy losses) except Ladder 24 which had no losses. Ladders 5 and 20 had devastating losses as did Squad 18.
