Fire departments across Westchester County are remembering colleagues who perished on Sept. 11, 2001.
In New Rochelle, a long-standing tradition continued as Fire Chief Andrew Sandor led a reading of the names of the 343 firefighters who died trying to save others as the towers fell. The tradition began in 2002, one year after the attacks.
"It's an honor is what it is, to be able to even talk about these guys and what they did that day," Sandor said. "They had a good idea that these things may collapse, but there's people up there, so we gotta keep going."
