Engine number…

An empty hook and ladder
Crushed amidst debris
A symbol of the horror
As yet no one could see

The risk that comes with rescue
Here magnified times ten
An event like no other
An end to what has been

A way of life now altered
And all too many lost
To late much recognition
At such a horrid cost

There are no simple answers
Or good reasons of why
Support your firefighters
As you remember those who died
