Today, members of the Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Department joined the Town of University Park for its September 11th Remembrance Ceremony.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the 2,977 lives lost that day, including the 343 members of the FDNY who made the ultimate sacrifice. We also remember all those we have lost in the years since as a result of their service at Ground Zero.

Thank you to Mayor Morrissey and the Town of University Park for the invitation and for continuing this important tradition of remembrance.

25 years later, we will never forget. 🇺🇸

The Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Department joins the fire service community and fans around the world in mourning the passing of Randy Mantooth, best known for his iconic role as firefighter/paramedic John Gage on *Emergency!*

Randy and *Emergency!* inspired generations to enter the fire and EMS services and played an important role in introducing millions of Americans to the emerging field of paramedicine.

Our department was honored to share a special connection to that legacy. In 2000, HVFD hosted *Emergency! Fest*, welcoming thousands of fans from across the country for a reunion of the show's cast and a rare opportunity to see the real Squad 51.

We are proud to have played a small part in celebrating a television series—and the people behind it—that had such a lasting impact on the fire and EMS community.

Rest easy, Randy. Your legacy will continue to inspire generations of firefighters and paramedics.
