A few moments later, he watched the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Pfeifer, the closest FDNY chief to the scene, spearheaded rescue efforts on one of the darkest days in American history. Ordinary Heroes is the unforgettable and intimate account of what Chief Pfeifer witnessed at Ground Zero, on that day and the days that followed. Through his eyes, we see the horror of the attack and the courage of the firefighters who ran into the burning towers to save others. We see him send his own brother up the stairs of the North Tower, never to return. And we walk with him and his fellow firefighters through weeks of rescue efforts and months of numbing grief, as they wrestle with the real meaning of heroism and leadership. This gripping narrative gives way to resiliency and a determination that permanently reshapes Pfeifer, his fellow firefighters, NYC, and America. Ordinary Heroes takes us on a journey that turns traumatic memories into hope, so we can make good on our promise to never forget 9/11"--|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cPenguin Random House Audio Publishing Group|d2021|nAvailable via World Wide Web. 600 10 Pfeifer, Joseph,|d1956- 610 10 New York (N.Y.).|bFire Department. 650 0 September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001. 650 0 Fire fighters|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vBiography. 650 0 Search and rescue operations|zNew York (State)|zNew York. 650 0 Heroes|zNew York (State)|zNew York. 650 0 Audiobooks. 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 776 08 |iOnline version:|aPfeifer, Joseph, 1956-|tOrdinary heroes |dNew York, NY : Portfolio/Penguin, [2021]|z9780593330265 |w(DLC) 2021024462 856 40 |zAccess this title to use with your computer or mobile device using OverDrive.|uhttp://link.overdrive.com/ ?websiteID=316&titleID=5978317
