A new group of 36 former firefighters and emergency responders will be honored on the FDNY Memorial Wall, a tribute that expands the list of those who died from illnesses linked to the 9/11 attacks. The additions recognize individuals whose health complications—such as cancers, respiratory diseases, and other conditions—were caused by exposure to the toxic dust and chemicals that plagued the World Trade Center site. The memorial, located at the FDNY headquarters, serves as a place of remembrance and a reminder of the long‑term toll the attacks have taken on first responders. The ceremony will bring families, colleagues, and city officials together to honor the courage and sacrifice of these men and women.
