On September 11, the battalion chief of Battalion 1 witnessed American Airlines Flight 11
crash into the North Tower of the World Trade Center and immediately radioed a multiple alarm
incident. Over the course of the next three hours, 121 engine companies, 62 ladder companies and 27 fire officers were deployed to the scene. All off-duty firefighters were recalled — the first time the FDNY had issued a total recall in over 30 years. In addition to the regular fire apparatus

, bridges, tunnels, and airport commands. The PAPD commanding officer on the scene ordered a full evacuation of the North Tower at 9 a.m., just minutes before the second plane struck the South Tower. At the same time, the PAPD's two most senior officers, superintendent
Ferdinand Morrone and Chief James Romito, both arrived separately at the World Trade Center.
Some officers were ordered into the towers to assist with stairwell evacuations, while others helped with evacuations in the plaza and subway station. Superintendent Morrone was last seen helping evacuate tenants on the 45th floor of the North Tower before it collapsed while Chief Romito was in the 31st-floor region with four colleagues helping firefighters. The PAPD lost 37 officers, including Morrone and Romito, and one police dog

Several New York City Police Department
(NYPD) officers saw the attack on the North Tower and immediately reported it to dispatchers. Ten minutes after the first attack, the NYPD chief of department was en-route to the scene and raised the police mobilization to level 4, thereby sending around 22 lieutenants, 100 sergeants, and 800 police officers to the World Trade Center. NYPD personnel were primarily responsible for assisting in evacuations and helping injured civilians.
Three police helicopters were also deployed to report on conditions and assess the feasibility of a rooftop landing or of special rescue operations. Once the second plane had struck the South Tower, another level 4 mobilization was ordered, bringing to almost 2,000 the number of NYPD personnel at the scene. Some were ordered to enter the World Trade Center to assist with the FDNY's evacuations.
The 23 NYPD officers, including four sergeants and two detectives, who died at the scene were:
