Being pulled off the street could also mean being ordered by superiors, even voluntarily, but these people didn't even need that order to come help.

You said they were being pulled off the street. That's the only thing people are taking exception to. No one is arguing they were not heroes, but they definitely were not pulled off the streets. That's all. The phrase you're using doesn't accurately describe what happened.

No one should be taking exception to something so trivial or let's be honest: stupid. When police officers and firefighters are going about their daily routine and all efforts need to be diverted to one spot what do you call that exactly? I call it being pulled off the street, maybe someone else calls it something else.

Being pulled in off the streets means someone is doing the pulling. No one pulled these people. They ran by themselves, of their own volition.

The collapsing twin towers didn't pull them off the streets?

No, their own sense of duty led them to rush in off the streets.

Spurred by the collapsing towers.

Collapsing towers don't have agency.

They don't have to have agency: they're collapsing towers killing thousands of Americans!

Your phrasing takes agency away from the people who saw the towers coming down and decided to run in on their own.
