Though he played a villain on Person of Interest, Robert John Burke is a volunteer NYC fireman who was good friends with Fire Captain Paddy Brown.  Bobby Burke recently donated Paddy Brown's fire helmet to the 9/11 memorial. 

More info from this article:  http://www.firefighternation.com/article/news-2/popular-fdny-officer-remembered-911-anniversary

TV actor and volunteer firefighter Robert John Burke, Brown's buddy, said "Pat was constantly trying to defuse being called a legend."  "There was a humility about Pat," said Burke, who volunteered for duty after 9/11. "He said that he didn't know everything, that the FDNY and fire service are a learning culture. I cannot stress his emphasis on that point enough. He said no two fires are alike and he needed to train and be ready physically, mentally and spiritually 110%. There's a quote that's attributed to Pat that speaks to this humility and understanding, and that is: "Even when we do this job the right way, fireman can die.' "
