Harvey was a steadfast supporter of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and championed our mission to honor the fallen, offer support to their survivors and work to reduce line-of-duty deaths and injuries. In recognition of the 10th Anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Harvey published the book, WTC In Their Own Words. Through gripping photos and powerful interviews, he captured the essence of what the firefighters of New York experienced on that fateful day and beyond. He donated some of the proceeds from the sales to several organizations, including the NFFF. For this, and for all his great works of support, we are extremely grateful.
Harvey Eisner will be deeply missed by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the entire U.S. Fire Service. Our condolences to his family and many friends.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation sincerely thanks the family of Harvey Eisner, Firehouse Emeritus Editor-in-Chief and former Chief of Tenafly (NJ) Fire Department for designating NFFF to receive donations in Harvey’s honor. Harvey was a very loyal supporter of the Foundation and its efforts to honor the fallen, support their survivors and prevent firefighter line-of-duty-deaths and injuries.
