FDNY's Historic 9/11  Rescue 5 visits the Third Street Promenade, on Saturday, February 22, 2014, as part of the Remembrance Rescue Project. FDNY's Rescue 5 was one of the fire companies that responded to the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. Rescue 5’s 11 member crew perished when the twin towers collapsed on that fateful day.

The goal of the Remembrance Rescue Project is to travel the entire United States sharing, educating, and honoring those who perished on 9/11and bridging the generational gap for those born since the attacks. 
FDNY's Rescue 5 will be in Santa Monica visiting several local schools and making some unexpected stops through April 2014. After leaving Santa Monica the rescue will crisscross the state making stops at other host fire departments.
