It was the day of September 11, 2001 and I was ready for
work at the fire station. My alarm is always set for 5:00 a.m.
every morning. I start work at about 5:30 a.m. and start off by
putting on my gear. I knew that this didn’t feel right, I knew
something bad was going to happen.
When I got to work it was all normal just like a normal day.
It was in the morning and we saved about ten people at a rush hour car crash between three cars. All of a sudden we heard a huge “BANG!” like a bomb went off. My fellow firefighters
and I were about jumped out of our skin One of the firefighters said
“What was that?!”
We all ran outside and we saw that smoke was
covering the sky. We couldn’t see where it was coming from or
what caused it.

Some of the people couldn’t hear me
because of the loudness caused by the huge fire. So I took my
megaphone and said to the people
“EVERYBODY START TO GO DOWN THE STAIRS TO SAFETY!!”
Everybody started to go down. Many boarded emergency vehicles to the hospital.
There were still a lot of people in the tower that were in such a
panic they were not listening to me. But I could see at the very
top of the tower a little girl that was about 6 years old who was screaming
for help and nobody was around her to save her. I quickly went
down the ladder and tried to move the ladder where she was. I
went up the ladder to go to her floor. The ladder only reached
the 80th floor, and she was at the 82nd floor. I said to myself
“I can’t just leave her there I have to go save her,” I knew that
I had to do something to go get her. I thought to myself: what if
I go into the building into the fire? So I started to go into the
tower and went up the stairs into the fire. When I got to the
82nd floor, I saw her just standing there in panic. I quickly
grabbed her she was scared to death.“PLEASE HELP ME” she
