On November 23, 2013 the Holbrook Fire Department unveiled a memorial dedicated to five Holbrook residents who were victims of the September 11 WTC attack. The memorial which is located in the main lobby of headquarters consists of an oak pedestal which holds and displays a piece of WTC steel. Atop stands a piece of clear crystal glass with a three-D laser engraving of both towers sitting on black granite. The backdrop displays the "Flag of Heroes" which is bordered by a plaque with a biography of each individual. The five residents remembered are Gerard Schrang Ex-Chief and member of FDNY Rescue 3, Edward Rall FDNY Rescue 2, Michael Mullin employee of Cantor Fitzgerald, Lt. John Crisci FDNY HazMat 1, Stan Smagala FDNY E-226. The ceremony was attended by numerous department members, family members and members of the FDNY.
