NEVER FORGOTTEN
The "Three Forty Three" is named for the 343 Firefighters killed on September 11, 2001
at the World Trade Center. Their pictures are on the wall in the new fire boat.

All FDNY Fireboats have a plaque that tells of the manufacturer, year,
mayor, and other facts about the vessel.

A deck below the wheel house is the fire command center with communications, planning, and other
resources used during any type of emergency.

She was on display at the Intrepid Museum on July 16 and 17 during Firefighter Appreciation weekend
and the Blessing of the Fleet.
