Mayor Mamdani pays homage to NYC firefighters for their courage and bravery on 9/11

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani began the 25th-year commemoration of the September 11 attacks on Friday by paying homage to the more than 300 members of the city’s fire department who had risked their lives while responding to the burning Twin Towers and saving countless lives.

“I was proud to begin this day of remembrance alongside @FDNY Commissioner Bonsignore and @FDNYFC by laying a wreath at the foot of the Firemen’s Memorial. For more than a century, this monument has honoured the heroes who risk their lives to keep us safe,” Mamdani said in a post on X.
