🇺🇸 25 YEARS LATER — WE STILL REMEMBER. WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001 — September 11, 2026

Twenty-five years have passed since the morning that forever changed our nation. Yet the memories, the sacrifices, and the courage shown on September 11, 2001, remain with us today.

On this 25th anniversary, Morristown Rescue Squad pauses to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost and to honor the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, dispatchers, military members, and ordinary citizens who answered the call during one of America’s darkest days.

We remember those who ran toward danger while others were running away. We remember the families who never got to say goodbye. We remember the survivors and the first responders who carried the weight of that day for years afterward.

25 years later, their courage still inspires us.
25 years later, their sacrifice still humbles us.
25 years later, we still remember.

As members of the emergency services family, we honor those who gave everything in service to others and those who continue to live with the effects of that day.

May we never forget how our nation came together, neighbor helping neighbor, stranger helping stranger, and first responders answering the call without hesitation.

The next two days we assisted in the search as well as as many other agencies, including some from North Carolina. Today, Tuesday August 1 he was located safe in the North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Thank you for everyone’s support and prayers for everyone involved!

A major search is underway in the Great Smoky Mountains for a man who has been missing for more than a week. 🌄🙏

Marcin Bachleda-Blaszczak, an Illinois man, was reported missing to Great Smoky Mountains National Park dispatch on August 24. He was last known to be at the Sugarlands Visitor Center parking lot on August 22, where his vehicle was later found.

As the search expanded, 57 park rangers and volunteers were involved, with crews searching both on and off established trails. Drones, which visitors normally cannot use inside the park, were also temporarily being deployed as part of the effort. Knox County Rescue has joined the search as well.

Marcin is described as 5'6", about 170 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

If you've been around Sugarlands or nearby areas of the Smokies recently, think back to who you may have seen. Sometimes one small detail can make a difference.

Please keep Marcin, his family, and every ranger and volunteer searching these mountains in your thoughts and prayers. 🙏🌄

And please share this around Tennessee and with anyone who visited the Smokies recently.

At 5:48 p.m., Morristown Rescue Squad was dispatched to a two-vehicle, side-impact (T-bone) collision on US 25E near Alex Hall Road.

Side-impact collisions can result in significant injuries, and this incident required an extensive emergency response. Two patients were transported by two separate medical helicopters, while all remaining patients were transported emergently by ground to UT Medical Center.

All four lanes of US 25E were closed for approximately an hour and a half while emergency crews worked at the scene.

Morristown Rescue Squad worked alongside Morristown-Hamblen EMS, Morristown Fire Department, and Morristown Police Department.

Morristown Rescue Squad's extrication response was provided by Extrication Technician Zach Troup, assisted by Peter Blake.

We appreciate the cooperation of motorists who were delayed while crews worked to provide patient care, perform extrication operations, secure the scene, and safely clear the roadway.

Please slow down and give emergency responders room to work..
