The FDNY has announced that 36 firefighters who succumbed to illnesses linked to the World Trade Center site will be honored with new plaques on the agency’s memorial wall. The tribute, unveiled in a ceremony at the firehouse’s headquarters, recognizes the long‑term health toll that the 9/11 attacks took on first responders. Officials highlighted the ongoing commitment to memorializing those who lost their lives to smoke inhalation, radiation exposure, and other occupational hazards, while also underscoring the importance of continued medical support for surviving personnel. The addition to the wall is part of a broader effort to preserve the legacy of the 9/11 responders for future generations.
