On Thursday, our Hazardous Materials Response Team assisted with a suspicious substance call on the 500 block of Harleysville Pike in Franconia Township. HazMat Technicians made entry to the facility in Level B PPE and, using multiple detection methods, determined the substance to be non-hazardous. 12 members were in service for approximately three hours.

Montgomery County’s 9/11 Memorial is now home at Elmwood Park.

From first responders and local labor to County staff and community partners, many hands helped make the seven-mile journey from Eagleville to Norristown possible.

The memorial will be rededicated at a special ceremony on September 11 at 10 a.m., giving residents and families an opportunity to gather, reflect, and remember all those impacted by the 9/11 attacks.

Thank you 6abc Action News for capturing the procession and helping share this story.

This summer, multiple high-profile events took place in the City of Philadelphia and across southeastern Pennsylvania, including the FIFA World Cup, the MLB All-Star Game, and numerous celebrations surrounding Independence Day and America250.

Working with our partners at the PA Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and our neighboring counties leading up to the events, we offered our Special Operations Substation and Logistics Warehouse in Upper Dublin Township to serve as a staging area for regional emergency response staff, vehicles, and equipment. The site was selected for its close proximity to, but location outside of the City of Philadelphia, as well as access to major transportation corridors such as I-276 and PA 309.

This week, PEMA staff visited our Emergency Operations Center to express their appreciation for our assistance this summer. Thanks for stopping by!

Montgomery County’s 9/11 Memorial has arrived at its new home.

Today, the 18-foot monument traveled seven miles from our Department of Public Safety campus in Eagleville to Elmwood Park in Norristown, where it will now stand as a permanent and more accessible place for remembrance.

First responders, community partners, and residents lined the procession route to witness the journey ahead of the 25th anniversary of September 11.

The memorial, designed by sculptor Sassona Norton, includes steel recovered from the North Tower of the World Trade Center and has been part of Montgomery County’s remembrance efforts for more than two decades. Thank you to everyone who helped bring it home!

This morning, we bid farewell to the Montgomery County, PA September 11th Memorial, which we’ve proudly hosted at the Emergency Operations Center for the past five years while the County Courthouse has undergone construction. Today, we assisted in escorting the sculpture to its new home, Elmwood Park in Norristown. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
