This memorial plaque is attached to the side of the New York Fire Department (FDNY) Ladder No. 10 home (around a corner but across the alley from the Ground Zero site).
When you visit the site (which I would recommend highly), you understand why Ladder Company #10 responded so quickly. Their fire station is across an alley (almost the back yard of the World Trade Center twin towers). I recognized that's why so many of their co-workers/comrades died while responding and trying to save the lives of people trapped inside the buildings.
We toured the World Trade Center memorial located next door to the FDNY Ladder Company #10. It was sobering and touching.
