Today, we pause to honor the unwavering courage and selflessness of our fire service—those who run toward danger so others may find safety. Our local volunteers embody this spirit every day, standing ready to protect our community with quiet strength and deep commitment. Their service is not just a duty; it’s a calling.

As we reflect on the 9/11 Memorial, we remember the firefighters who climbed the towers and never came back down. Their sacrifice echoes through time, reminding us of the cost of bravery and the power of unity in the face of tragedy. We carry their legacy forward—in every siren, every call answered, and every life saved.

To all who serve, and to all we’ve lost: we remember, we honor, and we thank you.
