The Firefighter Who Never Forgot: Steve Buscemi’s Hidden Service
Before he became a beloved actor, Steve Buscemi wore a very different uniform. In the 1980s, he served as a New York City firefighter, answering calls from Ladder Company 55 in Manhattan’s Little Italy. When tragedy struck on September 11, 2001, Buscemi quietly returned to his old firehouse, working alongside his fellow firefighters in the ruins of Ground Zero.
