FX scheduled the series finale of Rescue Me for September 6, 2011, a date coinciding near the 10th anniversary of 9/11 which also highlights the origins of the drama series. The inspiration for Rescue Me’s storyline by series’ star Denis Leary was the New York City firefighters who were dealing with the physical and emotional trauma after the event. FX decided to not position the series conclusion on September 11, because network president John Landgraf said “there are more solemn and appropriate things to do on the day. The weeks surrounding the day seemed to be the appropriate place to do it.”
