There is reportedly new proof that shows the city didn't do everything possible to protect firefighters who becamse sick after September 11th.

The Daily News says a lawyer representing more than 600 firefighters claims concealed city documents show all firefighters should have been equipped with respirators before the attacks.

The paper says the New York City Fire Deparmtment broke its guidelines by having only 600 respirators for more than 11,000 firefighters at the time.

According to the memos, the equipment was only handed out last summer.

The city's lawyers deny the memos were hidden, and calls the issue irrelevant, because the city instituted a separate respirator policy after the attacks.
