Britain’s Prince William visited FDNY firefighters at the firehouse near ground zero during his trip to New York City on Tuesday.
William spoke with firefighters at Ten House in Lower Manhattan, the closest firehouse to the World Trade Center, which lost several firefighters in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to the FDNY.
“Speaking from his own experience as a first responder, Prince William talked to FDNY members about the importance of mental health and counseling,” the FDNY shared on social media.
William also met with Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh and Chief of Department John Hodgens, who showed the prince around the firehouse as well as their 9/11 memorial inside. Last week, New York City marked 22 years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
