Fireboat

[gentle music] In 1999, a group of New Yorkers saved an old fireboat from the scrapyard.

They didn't need a fireboat.

They simply loved her and believed she was worth saving.

Two years later, on the morning of September 11th, they were scattered across the city when the unthinkable happened, and one thought brought them together: get to the fireboat.

From Chesterton Radio, this is the remarkable true story of the John J. Harvey.

So on the morning of September 11th, 2001, you know, as the terror really began to unfold downtown, millions of people in New York City had the exact same completely understandable instinct.

And this is not just a boat.

No.

Tugboats came.

Fireboats came.

Commercial vessels came.

Private vessels came.
