Scott Nacheman recently discovered the X-FDNY Rescue 5, one of the last remaining rescue units from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The vehicle was being restored in Northbrook as part of the Rescue Remembrance Project. Earlier, we shared stories about X-FDNY R-4, another unit that was acquired and preserved by the project. You can read more about it here, here, and here.
According to the Rescue Remembrance Project:
> "In December 2011, the project acquired the final Rescue truck from 9/11—Rescue 5. It was transported to our Chicago facility and is currently undergoing a full restoration. The truck will be unveiled at FDIC in Indianapolis this month."
The vehicle has recently been repainted by Capital Truck Body in Cicero and is now at MPC Lighting in Northbrook for new lighting installation. Jacquette Custom Lettering is handling all the striping and hand-painting of the original artwork, ensuring the truck is restored as close to its original condition as possible.
This restoration effort is not just about preserving a piece of history—it's about honoring the brave men and women who served on 9/11 and continuing their legacy through the work of the Rescue Remembrance Project.
