A NYC firehouse was 1st to respond on 9/11. 25 years on, Sal Argano is the last still on staff
Sal Argano is the last firefighter still on duty from Ten House’s 2001 crew as the station greets tourists and honors the 9/11 dead.
- Nearly 25 years after the 9/11 attacks, Firefighter Sal Argano remains the last active-duty member at FDNY 'Ten House' who served there in 2001, serving as a living link to the station's history near Ground Zero.
- Following the 2001 attacks, Ten House served as a command center and sanctuary for first responders, with six of its members among the 343 New York City firefighters killed during the World Trade Center collapse.
- Today, the station's crew responds to emergency calls while welcoming crowds of daily visitors; Capt. Terence Brody notes the dual role demands that firefighters balance fire duty with responsibility toward the public.
- Capt. Terence Brody submitted his retirement papers on Tuesday, with his last day in October, leaving younger firefighters like Robert Favata to carry forward the tradition of preserving the station's 9/11 legacy.
- Argano, 65, remains committed to his post, fearing something will be lost when no one remembers. "I'm gonna be here as long as I can," he said, "I'm going to keep telling them what I know, what I saw, what I've been through.
