NPR- The first people to respond to the attempted bombing in Times Square were firefighters from Ladder 54. The firefighters credit their counterterrorism training since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, for making them much more aware of possible terrorist strikes. Fire departments across the country are starting to train their firefighters not just to fight fires but to fight terrorism, too.
