The Yorkville 9: A Firehouse Remembers Its Nine
A permanent digital memorial traces the lives, service, and neighborhood legacy of nine FDNY firefighters from Engine 22 and Ladder 13.
Field notes
The memorial organizes nine biographies around the Yorkville firehouse at 159 East 85th Street, connecting individual portraits to company records, evacuation routes, and neighborhood memorial sites. Its historical material includes two riding boards bearing the firefighters' chalked sign-out names, which the page says were conserved and framed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2002. A separate account follows Joseph Graziano Jr., who descended through Stairway B while helping a civilian and escaped shortly before the North Tower collapsed.
