Mikey B.

Michael Emmett Brennan always wanted to be a firefighter.  It was his boyhood dream.  He was twenty-one, in 1995, when he left college so he could join the FDNY.  

He began his career at "The Pride of Midtown", Engine 54, Ladder 4, and Battalion 9 at 48th Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan.  Although his career in the FDNY took him first to a house in Queens and thereafter to Brooklyn, he returned to Engine 54 and moved over to Ladder 4.  

On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, he responded to the World Trade Center with Ladder 4.  He was one of fifteen members of his house who died on that terrible day.  

FF Brennan was "Mikey B." to his family and friends, a lover of life and one who loved a good prank, whether he was pulling it or on its receiving end.  He was survived by his parents, stepparents, four sisters, and four brothers, all of whom loved him dearly. 

FF Michael Emmett Brennan was just twenty-seven.
