Richard Picciotto Manhattan, NY

Richard Picciotto was an FDNY Battalion Commander in Manhattan on September 11, 2001. Following the terrorist attack, he rushed in-side the World Trade Center to res-cue those inside, but soon found himself trapped in the smoldering rubble of the North Tower after its collapse. Buried for more than four hours, he emerged almost un-scathed and was the highest-ranking firefighter to survive the collapse. In a presentation modeled after his best-selling book, Last Man Down, Picciotto offers a tribute to the lives that were lost that day. His recount is not one of death and destruction, but a celebration of life and its unpredictable nature. Pic-ciotto offers an eyewitness account of the defining historical event of our lives; his story is that of a man, a hero, and a tragic event that in-

spired a nation.

1730 – 1930 Parade

1930 – 2100 Richard Picciotto

Richard "Pitch" Picciotto, the highest-ranking firefighter to survive the World Trade Center collapse, and the last fireman to escape the devastation, was on a stairwell between the sixth and seventh floor of the North Tower when it col-lapsed on September 11, 2001. His is the harrowing true story of an FDNY battalion commander, American hero, a man who thought nothing of himself and gave nearly everything for others during one of our nation's darkest hours. Picciotto tells an outspoken account of that indelible day, shaking and inspiring audiences to the core. On the morning of September 11, 2001, Picciotto answered the call heard around the world. In minutes he was at Ground Zero of the worst terrorist attack on American soil. Acting boldly to save innocent lives as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center began to burn—and then to buckle. Already a veteran of terrorist attacks, Picciotto was present fighting a similar battle after the World Trade Center Bombing in 1993. Again inside the North Tower, where he found himself years earlier, burdened by an eerie sense of familiarity, he focused his concentration on the rescue efforts at hand. But it was there in the smoky stairwells that he heard and felt the South Tower collapse. He then made the call for firemen and rescue workers to evacuate, while he stayed behind with a skeleton team of men to assist a group of disabled and infirm civilians in their struggle to evacuate the inferno. It was there in the rubble of the North Tower that Picciotto found himself buried for more than four hours after the building's collapse. Having discovered that members of his team and a 59-year-old grandmother were alive nearby, he and his men used their radios to send out Mayday calls until they made contact with a firefighter on the ground, and a search party was dispatched. When the light finally appeared about four stories above, he climbed upwards, reached the top, and saw the "unfathomable, mind-boggling destruction." Even then it was not until after he organized the rescue of the others that he walked across the rubble to safety. Picciotto's book, Last Man Down, is a tribute to the 343 firefighters and 2,400 civilians who lay dead in the rubble that surrounded him on that day. And moreover, it is a heartfelt remembrance of a day of infamy and profound humanity. The book was an immediate New York Times bestseller upon its release in May 2002. Chief Picciotto has served as a: New York City Police Officer; Fire Marshal; an Arson Investigator; a Lieutenant; became Chief in 1992. He is a 28-year veteran of the FDNY, and for the past nine years, he has presided over the department's Battalion 11, covering Manhattan's Upper West Side. He is the recipient of departmental awards and commendations for his bravery and meritorious service.

Traditional HazMat response is founded in the principles of industrial hygiene, organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry. While these foundations are valuable in the right setting, HazMat IQ has revolutionized first responder training by turning the focus away from mastering textbooks and onto the critical knowledge needed to make a simple decision: Can I make entry to

effectuate a rescue?

In order to do this, a first responder needs to understand the environmental hazards and the required personal protection equipment. HazMat IQ training streamlines the size-up process and enables responders to maximize their response efficiency

Residential Fire Sprinklers; Fire Service History in the

Making

Live Fire Demonstration Today’s firefighter needs to be aware of and understand the residential fire sprinkler requirements now found in all

of the nationally recognized residential building codes. Fire Team USA presenters Wayne Waggoner and John

Corso will present and discuss the history of the residential fire sprinkler requirement as well as some of the code

requirements for the installation of a residential system. Many of the points of opposition to the code requirement

will be discussed with counter arguments being presented. The residential fire sprinkler code requirement is in-

tended to provide for the safety of fire fighters as well as the occupants of newly constructed homes. The class-

room portion of the workshop will conclude with a live burn demonstration that will clearly demonstrate the life and

property saving value of residential fire sprinklers. Don’t miss this informative and entertaining presentation.
