I was overwhelmed, because I knew what needed to take place in order to save people’s lives and property. And I said, there’s no way they can do this in the way that it should be done. It was an “all-hands on deck”–type thing. Q: When you were down there, did you see in the next days that followed the destruction of the World Trade Center 29 at World Series Park in Saugus. The tournament is being sponsored by CABL, and teams from CABL will play. Three games will be played on Saturday, Sept. 28: 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.; three games will be played on Sunday, Sept. 29: 10 towers any buildings collapse? A: I think in the days following, it was 7 or 10 World Trade Center that collapsed. We were there while it was still burning. I can’t remember the timeline. It either happened right after we left the area for the afternoon or it happened the night before. Q: What do you hope that Saugus residents think about when they look back upon that day? A: I hope that they will never forget and that they will always a.m., 1 p.m. and the championship game at 4 p.m. Games in Danvers and Lexington make up the other sections of the CABL Classic. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend. The Coaches vs. Cancer prothink of the sacrifices that firefighters and the police officers and the EMTs and paramedics made that day, and that they show a little thanks on a day like this.

Q: Public appreciation – like when that lady came up to you during the early part of this interview and expressed her appreciation for all of the Saugus firefighters? And she donates food to the Fire Department. A: Yeah.

Like the guy that was standing next to me this morning … he’s one of our newest firefighters and just graduated from the Firefighting Academy. He’s not a young kid, but in his early 30s, but this is his first time being a firefighter on September 11, so I hope he takes away from that – and that people who are in their 20s now and were babies back then – and that they just don’t forget.

It was probably one of the longest days of my life because there was such an information overload and I had a connection with friends. I’ve walked the plaza where Ground Zero is and where those two buildings used to be. I’ve taken the train. There’s a new train station there now. I used to take the subway there. I have friends who live in New Jersey. We used to jump on the subway in New Jersey and go to the World Trade Center, get off at the World Trade Center and go up the street and walk around in that area and walk by Ten House (Ladder 10) and right by the church – St. Paul’s. I used to walk up there. And when I was younger, we used to walk up to Times Square Get great deals now on advertising rates: Call Jim at 781-983-6187 In House Dental Plan for $399 (Cleanings, X-Rays, Exams twice a year and 20% OFF Dental work) Schedule your FREE Consultations today Publishing free every week in Everett, Malden, Revere and Saugus Monogram D4 Double siding Cedar impression half rounds Harvey Vinyl 60 Replacement Windows Custom Aluminum Trim work Windows & Doors Top quality Vinyl Siding! •Vinyl Siding •Carpentry Work •Decks •Roofing •Free Estimates •Replacement Windows •Fully Licensed •Fully Insured
