From New York: Many first responders who helped on September 11, 2001, have died from related illnesses in the years since. The number of these deaths is ten times the number of first responders who died that day. EMT Danny Casey is among those who have died from a 9/11-related illness.

Danny Casey met his wife Nicole at a bar, and they married and built a life together. They had two children, Daniel and Liam. Before marrying, Danny had responded to Ground Zero as an EMT, but rarely spoke about his experience.

Further details about Danny Casey's story and the struggles of first responders are available from the source. The impact of 9/11 on those who helped that day continues to be felt years later.
