@sesamestreet: After 9/11, Sesame Street aired four episodes to help children (and grown-ups) process fear and grief. In this episode, which aired in 2002, Elmo learns to face his fear with help from the FDNY firefighters — a reminder that even when we're scared, someone is there to keep us safe. #NeverForget

Elmo may have been scared. But he was ready to go back in, and fight that fire.

The puppeteer did such a phenomenal job at showing Elmo’s shock. You can absolutely see the emotion.

i am happy they did the whole "oh someone called it in already?" so older kids wouldn't be afraid to call "bc what if someone already did"

As someone who’s in school for early childhood education, this episode is very important. Not only because 9/11 happened but because naturally, children relate more to Elmo. So if they see Elmo dealing with this, they know they can deal with fear and help them learn to cope as well
