This FDNY firefighter retired 5 days before 9/11. The attacks brought him back to the job.
Billy Denis retired from the FDNY just five days before 9/11. After the twin towers came down, he rushed to ground zero and stayed through the darkest days of the recovery efforts. Twenty years later, he tells CBS News: “I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do it.”
