Historical Notes
Members of the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit (ESU) are trained in search and rescue, weaponry, and hazardous materials containment. All 10 ESU squads responded to the World Trade Center. ESU Squad 1’s truck served as a temporary command post.
Squad 1 officers were inside the North Tower when they heard a large rumble. Although unaware that the sound was the South Tower collapsing, they urged individuals to hasten their evacuation.
Fourteen ESU officers were killed on 9/11.
