Firefighters in New Zealand paid tribute to the first responders who lost their lives in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
In remembrance of those first responders as well as those who have died in the line of duty in New Zealand, firefighters performed a traditional haka dance under the Sky Tower in Auckland Wednesday.
After their performance, more than 200 firefighters climbed the stairs of the 1,076-foot-high Sky Tower in memory of those lost, according to the fire department’s Facebook post. Three New York Fire Department chiefs -- John Buckheit, Howard Hill and David Morkal -- also attended the event, according to New Zealand’s One News.
The performance was one of many tributes taking place in the U.S. and around the world to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the terror attacks.
