The FDNY 343 Fireboat is a state-of-the-art vessel operated by the Fire Department of New York (FDNY), named in honor of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Commissioned in 2010, this fireboat is not only a powerful firefighting tool but also a floating memorial to those heroes. Bancroft’s exquisite, museum-quality replica of this remarkable vessel features an impressive combination of breathtaking, realistic detail and operational features.

Firefighter Joseph Soto, Ladder 51 has served as a reservist in the Marines for 17 years. Sunday, he re-enlisted and was sworn in on Fireboat 343 in front of the Statue of Liberty. Thank you for your years of dedicated service to this country and the City of New York. | New York City Fire Department (FDNY)
