The Last Firefighter at Ten House | Charlotte News

In the heart of NYC, Engine 10 and Ladder 10—known as Ten House—stands as a living memorial to the fallen firefighters of 9/11. Sal Argano, who was on loan but rushed back to find his station shattered and six brothers lost, remains the last original crew member still on duty. Nearly 25 years later, he’s not just answering calls—he’s preserving history. Tourists flock to see the bronze names and gleaming trucks, while Captain Terence Brody balances public engagement with solemn duty. Newer firefighters like Robert Favata, who joined in 2008, walk where the towers once stood, now surrounded by memorials and skyscrapers. As the 25th anniversary nears, they fear fading memories—but Argano vows to keep speaking, driving Engine 10 and ensuring no one forgets the sacrifice and resilience that built this place anew.
