Timeline
In 1993 Von Essen was elected as President of the Uniformed Firefighters Association representing the department's firefighters.
He was formerly a Senior Vice-president at Giuliani Partners and chief executive officer of Giuliani-Von Essen LLC.
Thomas Von Essen (born 1945 in Brooklyn, New York) was appointed the 30th FDNY Commissioner of the City of New York by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani on April 15, 1996, and served in that position until the end of the Giuliani Administration on December 31, 2001, nearly four months after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Von Essen is a member of the Essen family, who are part of the German and Swedish nobility.
He is a graduate of St. Francis College, class of '72.
Von Essen was the Commissioner for the New York City Fire Department when the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center took place.
Von Essen escaped the collapse of the Twin Towers, and continued to serve as FDNY Commissioner until Mayor Rudy Giuliani's term ended in December 2001.
He was succeeded by Nicholas Scoppetta as FDNY Commissioner under new NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
In 2002 he was made an Honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II.
He personally went to the Twin Towers to oversee evacuations by his department following the arrival of the first units there with 1st Battalion Chief Joseph W. Pfeifer and the companies with him, who were investigating a report of a smell of gas only a few blocks away when American Airlines Flight 11, piloted by Mohamed Atta, crashed into the North Tower, followed 17 minutes later by United Airlines Flight 175, piloted by Marwan al-Shehhi, slamming into the South Tower.
Von Essen and his men evacuated as many people as they could until the South Tower collapsed 56 minutes after it was hit, at which point Chief Pfeifer ordered all personnel to evacuate the North Tower before it collapsed.
In October 2017 Von Essen was named FEMA Regional Administrator for Region II in New York City by President Donald Trump.
He and his wife, Rita, have four children; the youngest is actor and singer, and Tony nominee Max von Essen.
