On the 20th Anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, FEMA remembers the dedication and commitment of those who served. On Sept. 11, 2001, Tom Von Essen, the fire commissioner for New York, was one of the first people on the scene at the World Trade Center: “We never needed help before in New York, but at the Trade Center, we needed it. FEMA brought in the incident management teams and all of the experts that we didn’t have, to help all the firefighters and police officers and FEMA folks that were trying so hard, for months, to find people.” (FEMA Video by FEMA/Released)
