Young Italians of America meets with Engine 55 to learn about their unique history dating back to 1887. Located in the historically Italian neighborhood, Little Italy, the Italian American firefighters share its rich significance and their individual Italian roots. We learn about their loss on 9/11 and the heroic acts of the fallen heroes from Engine 55. They give us a description of how they work each day to keep the city safe. Thank you Paul Acciarito, Peter Tartaglione, William Huang, and Frank Genco for opening up your firehouse to us and all you do for our city.
