>From all of us at Victoria State Emergency Service Portland Unit Australia,
We as a volunteer dedicated rescue agency send our thoughts, prayers, and
best wishes to all those in New York that have been touched by this
tragedy. Words can't describe what has happened, and our thoughts can't
accept what we are seeing and hearing on our television screens in
Australia.
As we awoke in Australia Tuesday morning to witness the devastation on our
television screens, and our immediate thoughts were of shock, Horror and
disbelief at the loss of so many lives including those of our fellow
rescuers.
Our hearts go out to you and may God keep the rest of you safe and help
heal the wounds over time

All of us in the fire service feel helpless today and want to show our
respect and wishes. I saw your note about red, white and blue ribbons but am
asking for your help by doing a little more.

I am asking everyone I know to display a red or blue light (or both) to
honor our fallen brothers and sisters as well as our fellow police officers,
EMTs, and Paramedics. With Firehouse.com being a premier source to the fire
service help me spread the word nationally.

I'm saddened to say that I have but one more name to add to the list.
The body of Carlos Lillo an FDNY-EMS Paramedic from Battalion 49 in
Queens and a good friend was recovered at 09:00 hours on 09/12/01. He
was a 15 year paramedic who leaves behind a wife and family. Although I
am positive this is confirmed please seek confirmation from others.

Thank you,

Chris Lefkaditis
Paramedic

Dear Sir/Madam


I was hoping to get a message from us here in New Zealand to all fellow
firefighters and emergency service workers and their families who have lost
their lives and working brothers and sisters during the despicable events by
Terrorists in New York and Washington. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to them
all and we feel for all those who have lost friends and brother
professionals.

We in New Zealand are totally unbelieving and horrified by such an attack on
all Americans and the free world by such cowards who have created such
mayhem by attacking innocent people

We know America will never buckle to these people and support that approach
fully.

Chief Fire Officer

A few weeks ago while on a trip to Baltimore we had the opportunity to meet a group of NY City Fireman who had come to Baltimore for the baseball game. We had breakfast at the Day's Inn Inner Harbor hotel where they all came in and we talked with a couple of them. They were a great bunch of guys fighting hung over and the likes! One of the men told us they were the second station to respond to the bombing of the Trade center in 1993. I can only assume they again were the second to respond yesterday. I do not remember their station # and have called the hotel trying to find out. The hotel knows but due to privacy laws could not tell me. One of our local firemen told me about your web site. I was hoping maybe you could help me identify the station these guys belong to. They were in Baltimore Friday, August 24, Saturday August 25 and left Sunday August 26 and as I said they stayed at the Days Inn Inner Harbor Hotel on Hopkins St. whose phone # is 410-576-1000. I would l! ike to contact these men's station if possible to find out their condition and give any support I can. I did not "know" these guys but their spirit and love of life touch me. Any help you could give me in locating them would be appreciated.

And to all Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement who have risked their life and given their lives during this tragedy, Thank from myself, my family and our country.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

I sit here with a profound sense of anguish. The loss of so many brothers and sisters in public safety(fire service,law enforcement,ems,etc.)has caused a tremendous ache in my heart. I pray that GOD will touch each and every one. I ask for his healing for each of us.
To those of us on the front line in Washington and New York, know that you have the support, respect and admiration from those of us all across the nation. We are with you in spirit even though we can not be there in person.
Words seem so inadequate to express what I feel.
Take my strength when you feel that you are done in; it's all that I can give you from here. I would gladly give more if I could be there to work beside you.
I don't know what else to say other than we're all with you.

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I wasn't sure what to say on my reply. Being a college student and Sam's Club employee, not a member of an FD or PD, I wasn't sure that I should reply on this forum.
But I am the son of a former volunteer firefighter and being a future Arson Investigator, I decided not to hesitate, to send my condolences to DC and NYC. To the FDNY, NYPD, NYEMS, DCFD, (ETC.) and all those who rushed to their sides to dig through the rubble and cover them at their posts. I would also like to send my sympathy to all the victims and their families.
As an American, I am shaken, sad, and angry about the events of the 11th of September. I stand with you all and support our Nation and our Firefighters after these attacks on our way of life.
Keep the Flag flying and stay safe America..

My boyfriend is in New York helping out the other firefighters during this tragic time. He is from Indiana and our thoughts and prayers are with all the firefighters who are there for support and to help in anyway.
Our condolescences go out to the families that have lost loved ones and also to the people who are away from their families.
Corey take care and come home safe.
