This evening members of Poudre Fire Authority joined our community & neighboring departments to honor & remember the 343 firefighters who gave their lives on 9/11, the victims who lost their lives that day, & all those we have lost due to that tragic day over the last 25 years.
On that day, and those following, our country banded together in support of those we had lost. Today we came together again in their memory. We thank everyone who came out to join us this evening.
