AS YOU PREPARE FOR BED TONIGHT NEVER FORGET:

On this day... 25 years ago:

♥️ 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.
♥️ 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning.
♥️ 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.
♥️ 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol.
♥️ 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives.
💔 None of them took a breath past 10:00 a.m. on September 11, 2001.

And it doesn't matter if you weren't there, if you were too little to remember or if you were not even born yet, this day, this piece of history, changed the world forever.
It changed YOUR world forever.

🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸

As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

They’re already out there as the kids head back to school, so pay attention and keep them safe!!

Happy 2026 School Year!!!

As kids head back to school, it’s time for all of us to slow down and pay extra attention on the roads.

🚨 WATCH FOR SCHOOL BUSES
🛑 Stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended.

•Look carefully for children crossing the road.

•Slow down in school zones and residential areas.

•Put the distractions away and keep your eyes on the road.

•Be patient — getting a few seconds behind schedule is never worth risking a child’s life.

Slow down. Stay alert. Stop when required. Give our kids the time and space they need to get to school safely.

Crews started the day with the annual Tunnel to Towers Stair Climb at Patriot’s Stadium. The climb, like the annual 5K, was created to honor Stephen Siller and all those who lost their lives on September 11th. Funds are raised to support First Responders and military. Approximately 2,200 feet of track is walked, in gear!! 🙌

Meanwhile, 6 members attended bailout training. Water Day at Zarephath was a blast…
In between all of this, 4 fire calls were answered by the same crews who attended the events and training. Talk about dedication 👏.

Warm today, hot tomorrow, and even hotter the next day! While the next few days isn’t being considered another heat wave, we do have an extreme heat watch on Wednesday, so be prepared, stay hydrated and stay cool!

While we love that we can help our community, let’s not meet today on terms that you kept your grill too close to your house. Let’s meet because you wanted to visit the firehouse, or because you saw us shopping at ShopRite 😊.
Happy Independence Day and 250th! We wish you a safe enjoyable weekend!
