🇺🇸 NEVER FORGOTTEN — 9/11/2001 🇺🇸

25 years later, we still remember.
Today, we honor the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the brave firefighters, police officers, EMTs, dispatchers, and civilians who ran toward danger while others were running away.

We remember the sacrifices made that day. We remember the families who lost loved ones. We remember the heroes who gave everything they had to save others.

As firefighters, we carry their courage, their sacrifice, and their memory with us every time we answer the call.

We will never forget the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🚒🇺🇸

Please take a moment today to remember, honor, and pray for all those whose lives were forever changed on 9/11.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Always remembered.
Always honored.

❤️🏆 WHAT A HUGE SUCCESS! 🏆❤️

Our 3rd Annual Hitchins Volunteer Fire Department Car & Bike Show, held in memory of our beloved Tommy Thompson, was an incredible success! We cannot thank everyone enough who came out, entered their vehicles, brought their families, supported our department, and helped make today so special. ❤️

Today was about more than cars and bikes. Today, we honored a truly great man. Having Tommy’s family with us made the day even more meaningful. Tommy T. was one of the best, and although we miss him dearly, it meant so much to be able to honor his memory and keep his name and legacy alive. ❤️

I would personally like to give a huge thank you to Fireman Kyle Wages for all of his hard work behind the scenes to help make this event come together. I truly appreciate everything you did! And thank you to all of our firemen who came out today and helped wherever they were needed. It takes a team, and we are blessed to have one! 🚒❤️
