NEW YORK — A New York firefighter who survived 9/11 and the Deutsche Bank skyscraper blaze has committed suicide, it emerged today. Retired Lieutenant John Garcia saw colleagues die in both the September 2001 terror attacks and the large 2007 fire on the edge of Ground Zero.
The father-of-four worked with the Fire Department New York for 25 years before retiring in 2009. He was on the scene at the World Trade Center when both towers collapsed.
