On Monday, September 11th, Fillmore City Fire Department held a memorial ceremony marking the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. The memorial began at 6:30am. The American flag was raised promptly at 6:55am. Let us remember the sacrifices made by so many that morning. From the everyday heroes who helped save perfect strangers, to the first responders who walked toward danger in hopes of helping anyone they could, they were all a shining example of how we can easily come together in times of national crisis. We will never forget those brave individuals, and we will never forget September 11th, 2001. |

 Work on the sewer repair is almost over! The new sewer line and the manholes have been completed and the sewer by-pass pumps were turned off as of Friday, September 1, according to Troy Spayd, Fillmore City Municipal Service Director. The sewage has been flowing since then and the contractors are working on making road repairs and demobilizing the equipment. Paving has begun and will last through Thursday, Sept. 14. Then there will be restriping that needs to take place. Most of the work will be completed by the end of this week, with everything finished by end of next week. The cost of the extensive repair that took place after storm damage to the sewer on March 16 was almost $4 million. In and out-of-town traffic has been greatly impacted by Highway 126 and street closures, and the community is relieved the roadwork is ending. Photo credit Angel Esquivel-AE News. Enlarge Photo |

Courtesy Fillmore Fire Department The Firefighters of your Fillmore City Fire Department would like to invite you to attend a memorial celebration marking the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States, September 11th, 2001. As a nation, we were brought together in tragedy, captivated by the images of destruction, despair, fear, and raw emotion.

We invite you to join us this Saturday morning to remember the civilians, Firefighters, Police Officers, and Military Personnel who perished on that fateful day. Let us remember the sacrifices made by so many that morning. From the everyday heroes who helped save perfect strangers, to the first responders who walked toward danger in hopes of helping anyone they could, they were all a shining example of how we can easily come together in times of national crisis. We will never forget those brave individuals, and we will never forget September 11th, 2001. Gathering at the Fillmore Fire Station will start at 6:30am in the front.
