| First responders remember the fallen by climbing 110 stories in College Station VIDEO: Just try to imagine you're running into a burning building, climbing 110 stories, with 50 to 80 pounds of gear on your back, knowing you may not make it out alive. "I can't stress this enough, feeling how we feel right now, just going up and down and imagining all the extra air tanks, hoses, the tools, and stuff they had to carry up with them," says Bryan firefighter Chris Lamb. Lamb remembers the day the world went into shock, then fell into silence – and finally, an entire country went into mourning. "When 9/11 happened, I was 21 years old. I was working on an ambulance, and I was working on shift. I just remember my coworkers calling me and telling me to turn the TV on. And I just watched as everything unfolded, and I watched it happen," says Lamb.

KREM-TV CBS 2 SPOKANE Actor James Earl Jones's voice once boosted New York fire department recruitment VIDEO: Hudson residents may recall a familiar voice from local fire department recruitment ads—a voice that brought a cinematic touch to community service calls. James Earl Jones, known for his iconic deep voice, once lent his talents to the Hudson City Fire Department in the late 1990s, voicing ads that encouraged young people to join the department's apprenticeship program. "The Hudson City Fire Department is looking for a few good young people to join the firefighters' apprenticeship program. These will be young people who understand that giving something extra to the community is a way of getting something extra out of life," Jones said in the ad, his unmistakable voice delivering the message with gravitas. Jones's dedication to community causes, it seems, was not limited to the big screen. WSYR-TV ABC 9 SYRACUSE One town in Maine rolls out new state-of-the-art fire truck VIDEO: Saving lives, in style! The Town of Orrington recently unveiled its new, state-of-the-art fire truck. Nearly three years after the town placed the order, the truck pulled up to the firehouse that was built specifically to house bigger apparatus like this. Fire Chief Scott Stewart says the whole rig is custom-built, down to the eye-catching black paint job. "Yeah, we... I... really wanted to do something different from our traditional color. We kind of went back and forth with a few different things," Stewart said. "And actually this change came at the last hour. The truck was ordered red and we changed it shortly after placing the order just because we wanted to do something a little different," Stewart said. "It was kind of a secret. Most people here didn't know until it started getting built and the pictures started showing up from the manufacturer." WABI-TV CBS/CW+ 5 BANGOR 23 years after 9/11, World Trade Center Health Program expands to more Flight 93 first responders VIDEO: On the day America marked 23 years since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, more people who helped in the aftermath became eligible to enroll in the World Trade Center Health Program. The program expanded enrollment to include additional first responders who helped at the Flight 93 site and the Pentagon. A retired law enforcement member and author who volunteered to respond to the scene of the crash in Shanksville shared what this expansion means to her and other heroes as she battles her own health issues, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Bells rang 40 times on Wednesday to honor the victims who died when United Flight 93 plummeted into a Somerset County field on Sept. 11, 2001, after passengers and crew members voted to fight back against a group of hijackers.
