Only on 12: Local firefighters call FDNY Ladder 46 'sister station' after 9/11
Out of the nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11th, 343 of them were New York City firefighters. Their loss is still felt 800 miles away, at an Augusta fire station on Highland Avenue. Nearly 10 years later and Station 8 has become a "sister station" to Ladder 46 in New York.
