Bridgwater Fire Station

11/09/2026

At 13:46 UK time, the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, colleagues from across our Service came together to observe a moment of silence.

Marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, we paused to remember the 343 FDNY firefighters, the thousands of people who lost their lives and the survivors who still live with the memories from the tragedy of 9/11.

Our hearts go out to their families and loved ones❤️

Today we honour the memory of those who lost their lives 25 years ago on 11 September 2001. We at Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service are honoured to join National September 11 Memorial & Museum in remembrance and share this picture of the sky we all share.

We remember the brave firefighters and emergency service workers who selflessly responded to help those in need.

We will never forget.

Property fire, Puriton, Bridgwater.
Fire out on arrival as owners had purchased their own fire blanket and used it in the appropriate manner it was intended 👏🏽 this severely reduced the risk of fire spread and damage, well done to them.
