This mural on this huge wooden door shows us the Brooklyn Bridge and New York City in the background, no longer twin towers.
In a top foreground the US flag and stars in the sky.
The blue backgrounds of the sky and the river stand out.

Private or Public Monument?: Government Text on the memorial: Firehouse garage door with mural memorializing firefighters Presented with permission of the City of New York and the New York City Fire Department Courtesy of Engine 205/Ladder 118 and artists Kia Carbone, Kye Carbone, and L. Frank Visco (Retired), Artwork out of friends of flights, Inc. This garage door is from a firehouse in Brooklyn Heights, home to FDNY Engine Company 205 and Ladder Company 118. The door features a mural honoring the eight members of the firehouse who were killed responding to the attacks at the World Trade Center. Lieutenant Frank Visco, a former member of the firehouse, helped develop this tribute with his FDNY colleagues and local high school student Kia Carbone. Carbone sketched a design for the mural, which incorporates the nearby Brooklyn Bridge, an American flag, and a star for each firefighter from the house who was killed in the attacks. She was supported in the project by her mother, Nancy, founder of the nonprofit organization Friends of Firefighters, and her father, Kye, an artist. Together, Visco, Kia, and Kye painted the mural in 2002. FDNY Engine Company 205 victim: Lieutenant Robert Francis Wallace FDNY Ladder Company 118 victims: Captain Martin J.
