United KingdomFire Chief Steve Sullivan, who survived the 9/11 attacks while many of his colleagues did not, continues to serve with the Fire Department of New York (FDNY). He mentors younger firefighters, including the children of those who died in the attacks. Sullivan was originally scheduled to work on Squad 41 on 9/11 but was reassigned to Squad 288 for medical tests. As he traveled between stations, both squads were wiped out in the attacks. Now in his 35th year of service, Sullivan emphasizes passing on knowledge and honoring the legacy of fallen firefighters. He maintains close contact with the families of his late colleagues, particularly supporting their children who are now serving in the FDNY.
