This is by far the most special rig I've ever had the opportunity to shoot. I'm sure many of you are aware of the Rescue Remembrance Project. A group purchased the old FDNY Rescue 4 and Rescue 5 and turned them both into travelling memorials of 9-11. To know that I was getting to touch a truck that was on scene at 9-11 and witnessed all those unimaginable events just gave me cold chills. This particular truck was Rescue 5. It responded to the Twin Towers with 12 personnel that morning and returned back with only 1. As long as I live, it will be hard to ever find anything as special as this truck was to shoot.
