Fillmore Fire Department

On Thursday, September 11, in remembrance of the terrorist attacks on our country, at 6:55 a.m. Firefighters will be at attention and in complete silence as the colors are raised. At 6:59 a.m. – the moment the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed – the county’s Fire Communication Center will dispatch an all-county attention tone followed by four sets of five bells. These bells honor the 343 New York firefighters, the law enforcement personnel and civilians who lost their lives as the result of the terrorist attacks. A minute of silence will then follow.

The City of Fillmore Fire Department would like to invite members of the community to join us for the brief morning tribute dedicated to those who generously gave their lives while trying to save the lives of others. Following the ceremony residents are invited to join station personnel for coffee and donuts.
