Leonardo Chumaceiro takes time to walk a little girl around Rescue 4, but has no idea what the truck went through Sept. 11, 2001.

It is one of two trucks to survive the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse and now serves as a rolling artifact.

The nine firefighters listed on the side of the truck rushed into the chaos.

“They actually went inside the tower and everybody that was assigned to that vehicle on this particular day actually perished,” said Palm Coast firefighter Leonardo Chumaceiro.

Sal Pristera splits his time between Palm Coast and Utica, New York. Like many in Flagler County, he has fire department ties, having served as a volunteer firefighter back in New York.

He didn't want to miss the chance to honor those who died.

To see those names is something all firefighters have to deal with.

“That's what you with, with every fire," said Pristera. "Every time you go out, you don't know if you're coming back. But you know, that's part of the job.”

Pristera has another memory of Sept. 11, which hits close to home.

“My daughter was working in New York City at the time of the occurrence and it was a very stressful time,” Pristera said.

The Remembrance Rescue Project, which maintains the two trucks, is made of up volunteers.

Chumaceiro liked what he saw as the day went on -- people, young and old with or without ties to New York City taking a moment to remember.

The fire truck will be at several locations in the city through Friday.
