A neighboring volunteer fire company called the one in Roslyn, N.Y., for help on Thanksgiving 2000. A rescue specialist was needed to extricate a young man from a wrecked car. The company, and the driver, were lucky. Two rescue specialists, Peter and Thomas Langone, arrived and cut him loose.
In their time off, Firefighter Peter Langone and Police Officer Thomas Langone were leaders at the Roslyn Rescue Fire Company, training other volunteers in the skills they learned at work.
Peter Langone, 41, a driver with Engine Company 252 in Bushwick, Brooklyn, a specialty unit, was the "elder statesman" at the firehouse, according to Firefighter James O'Connor. He drove the truck and showed rookies the ropes, speaking bluntly at times. "He never beat around the bush," Firefighter O'Connor said. His wife, Terri, and his daughters Nikki, 9, and Karli, 5, were often seen around the firehouse, and they took weekend trips to the country. They were planning a family trip to Disney World this winter. He also liked to hunt, and in good years that meant venison stew in the firehouse.
Thomas Langone, 39, of Emergency Squad 10 in Brooklyn, went to Oklahoma City in 1995 to help with recovery efforts after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. "His entire day went at a million miles an hour," a fellow officer said. "He didn't wait to be called." He also taught firefighting techniques for Nassau County, and was working toward a bachelor's degree from Empire State College's distance learning program so he could teach when he retired from the department.
With his wife, JoAnn; his daughter, Caitlin, 12; and his son, Brian, 10, Thomas Langone took a trip to Rhode Island last summer, touring mansions and enjoying the cliff walk in Newport.
Their jobs brought the brothers together. In 1990, the Roslyn volunteers went to the scene of the Avianca crash in Oyster Bay. In 1993, working for New York City, the brothers went to the World Trade Center bombing. On Sept. 11, they arrived separately not long before the twin towers collapsed.

I saw Peters name tonight while watching a 15 yr anniversary of 9/11 and I googled his story. I just want to express my sincere condolences to his family for this tragic loss of such an American hero.

While I have never met Peter, from what I have read from this guest book, and news article, he was an amazing man. A loving father, and husband, a brave firefighter and much, much more. I have been given a research project as part of a trip I am going on to the World Trade Center Memorial. As part of this project, I will be making a memorial for Peter. Unfortunately I don't know a whole lot about him. So, I would really appreciate it if someone who knew him, better than I could e-mail me and...

I'm a NYS EMT for Superior Ambulance in Binghamton NY. I just completed the 110 story 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb yesterday. Upon our arrival to the event, we each received a lanyard with photos of 4 of the fallen 343 firefighters we would be climbing in memory of. Peter Langone was on mine. We truly will NEVER forget the service, dedication and ultimate sacrifice these brothers and sisters served for. To the Langone Family: may you find comfort knowing Peter is still touching lives to this...

My wife and I were watching the fire fighter TV show "Rescue Me" based in NYC and saw a shot of the list of names of heros who passed away and saw Peters name. Not too many of us Langones in this world and we wanted to give our condolences. God bless you Peter and your family.
