The fire station - the home of Task Force I, an elite squad of Urban Search and Rescue teams that deployed to Ground Zero - has an exterior 9/11 memorial, which includes a plaque and a steel girder from the World Trade Center.
The huge connection to 9/11 and why a 9/11 Memorial was so appropriate at the Los Angeles Fire Station 88. California Task Force 1 was the first team that traveled to NYC and Ground Zero and in fact they were the only plane in the air the evening of September 11, 2001 except for military aircraft. Flying out of March Air Force Base in San Bernardino along with specially trained dogs and thousands of pounds of special equipment. They traveled to GZ in hopes they would be able to offer their expert assistance.
