This Firefighter Hero WOD from 555 Fitness is dedicated to Michael Kiefer, FDNY, Ladder 132, who was killed on September 11, 2001 during the terrorist attacks on the twin towers in New York City.

Michael Vernon Kiefer, 25, of Franklin Square was a member of Ladder 132 in the New York City fire department. He was last seen at the Marriott Hotel heading for the south tower.

A firefighter came to his Franklin Square home in the early hours of Sept. 12 to tell him his son was gone, and in that moment Bud Kiefer knew everything had changed forever. “He looked me in the eye and said, ‘I’m sorry.’ At that instant your life turns around 180 degrees,” he said.
