Overview

  • The department will hold a large commemoration on Sept. 9, 2026 at Staten Island’s FerryHawks Stadium, selected for its views of Lower Manhattan near the Postcards memorial.
  • The observances honor the 343 members who died on 9/11 and the more than 400 who later died of related illnesses, with additional remembrances planned across the city on Sept. 11.
  • A commemorative emblem and ceremonial patch will be released with merchandise benefiting the FDNY Foundation.
  • A podcast series hosted by Gary Sinise and a short film about FDNY Chaplain Father Mychal Judge are planned as part of the remembrance efforts.
  • An updated 25th‑anniversary health report is slated for release in September 2026, and the announcement comes as the city continues turning over newly discovered Ground Zero health records in ongoing litigation.
