Patriot Day: 25 Years Later, We Will Never Forget

Today marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, a day that forever changed our nation and our fire service.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families forever changed, and the extraordinary courage displayed by first responders and ordinary citizens who answered the call to help others.

For the Selden Fire Department, September 11 carries a deeply personal significance. We remember Nicholas Chiofalo, a Firefighter with FDNY Engine Company 235 who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the City of New York on September 11, 2001. Here at home, Nicholas proudly served the Selden Fire Department as Captain of Truck Company 1.

His legacy remains an important part of our department's history. Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor his service, his courage, and his sacrifice.

Join Us This Evening

We invite our community to join the members of the Selden Fire Department this evening at 6:30 PM at Selden Fire Headquarters for our September 11th Memorial Service.

Together, we will remember Captain Chiofalo, all those who were lost on September 11, and the first responders who gave everything in service to others.

As a community and as a fire department, we remain committed to ensuring that the sacrifices of that day are passed on to future generations and never forgotten.

25 years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.

A couple of months ago Truck Co.1 received updated rope rescue hardware for our truck. This past Tuesday night Truck Co.1 put it to use at our monthly company drill. The participants were met with a low angle rescue evolution involving an unconscious subject at the bottom of a sump.
The evolution covered hands-on patient packaging, assembling hauling and safety systems and their operations, anchor points, and communications. We also went over rigging a simple tower ladder high point.
Whether it be a car down an embankment, or a children injured sleigh riding in a sump, Selden FD has faced this type of situation before.

The weather had other plans. We do too.

Our JAWS Drive-In Movie Night has officially been rescheduled, and we're finally ready to hit play. Join us for a night under the stars with the movie that made generations think twice before going in the water.

If you already purchased tickets, they're still valid for the new date. Haven't grabbed yours yet? There's still time.

Just when you thought it was safe to make weekend plans...

We are terribly saddened because we had to cancel tonight's showing of Jaws before it turned into a Sharknado. As soon as we have a rescheduled date, we will make sure to share it with everyone. Thank you as always for the support.

Unfortunately, due to the forecast and expected weather conditions, we've made the difficult decision to cancel this Saturday's Drive-In Movie Night.

We're disappointed, but the safety and enjoyment of our guests comes first, and we don't want the weather to take away from what should be a great evening.

If you purchased tickets in advance, you have two options:
• Receive a full refund.
• Hold onto your ticket and use it for our next Drive-In Movie Night.

If you'd like a refund, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next movie night!

Last night, members of Truck 1, along with personnel from several other companies, participated in a hands-on drill focused on non-traditional vehicle extrication techniques.

The objective was to utilize tools and equipment not specifically designed for vehicle extrication to begin rescue operations until specialized equipment could arrive on scene. This training challenged participants to think outside the box, adapt to changing conditions, and develop creative solutions under pressure.

Training like this reinforces the importance of resourcefulness, teamwork, and problem-solving skills when seconds matter most.

Today we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We will never forget.
