Kidron Fire present Free CE Opportunity

Grab a spot for a free CE session brought to you by Kidron Fire and boost your skills without spending a dime! Joe Torrillo is a 25 year Lieutenant with the NYC Fire Department who is now retired on disability. He spent the first 15 years of his career in Engine Company #10 across the street from the South Tower. After he was injured on 12/31/96, he was assigned to the office of fire safety education. He would co- design a children’s state of the art fire safety learning center which then opened in October 2000 located in Rockefeller Center. Shortly thereafter, he worked on a project with Fisher Price Toys to help design a new children’s action figure part of their line of “Rescue Heroes”. On the morning of 9/11/01, he was scheduled to be involved in a press conference introducing the new action figure “Billy Blazes”. He was 1/8 of a mile away from the WTC when the South Tower was struck. Due to his extensive knowledge of the WTC and structural engineering, he rerouted to the scene and began assessing. That morning, Joe was buried not once, but twice, beneath the debris from the Twin Towers. The morning’s session is titled “From Devastation to Inspiration”. The afternoon will be divided into two talks, “The History of the World Trade Center” and “The Design and Collapse of the Twin Towers”
