Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department

09/12/2026

Thank you to the Vermont State Police, AmCare Ambulance Service. Inc, St. Albans Police Department, St. Albans Town Fire Department, Fairfield Center School and our community for making today’s 9/11 Remembrance Walk so special.

Seeing the respect and maturity of our students was incredibly moving. Many weren’t even born on 9/11, but today they helped us remember—and showed us that the lessons of that day will live on through the next generation.

We remember. We honor. We never forget.
