🚒🔥 National Fire Prevention Week🔥🚒

We had a great time visiting the Hopewell-Loudon preschool students to talk about basic fire prevention tips and what to do in case of a fire! The kids had some fantastic ideas about what to do and what NOT to do during a fire. 🧯 Smoke detectors are a must and having a solid fire safety exit plan for your families! 🚨

They also got to see one of our firefighters fully suited up and learn how different firefighters can look and sound in their protective gear. Helping children understand that firefighters are there to help, so they don’t feel scared if they ever see one during an emergency, is an important part of fire safety education! 👨‍🚒

A big THANK YOU to the Hopewell-Loudon staff and students for inviting Bascom Fire & EMS to spend time with you! We had a blast learning together! 🚒

Tomorrow marks 25 years since September 11, 2001.

For those who lived through that day, we remember exactly where we were when the world seemed to stop.

We remember the Towers, Pentagon, the field in Shanksville.

We remember the firefighters climbing stairs while thousands were trying to get down. The police officers running toward danger. The paramedics, dispatchers, military members, and ordinary citizens who saw someone who needed help and helped anyway they could.

We remember the 2,977 lives taken that day and the countless others whose lives were forever changed.

But 25 years later, we should remember something else, too.

Remember what September 12th felt like.

We held doors open a little longer. We waved to neighbors, we checked on one another. We called family just to hear their voices. We thanked our first responders.

Strangers talked to strangers. People were a little more patient, a little more compassionate, and a little more willing to help.

For a brief moment, we stopped focusing on what divided us and remembered what connected us.

We were neighbors. We were Americans.

So today, before tomorrow’s anniversary, we challenge you to bring a little bit of September 12th back.

Hold the door for someone.

Wave to the neighbor you usually drive past.

Check on someone who lives alone.

Call the person you’ve been meaning to call.

Thank a first responder.

Help a stranger without expecting anything in return.

Choose kindness

We should never need another tragedy to remind us how much we need one another.

Tomorrow, we will remember those who left home on an ordinary Tuesday morning and never returned. We will remember the first responders who ran toward danger and the families who have carried their loss for 25 years.

But today, let’s honor them by remembering, sharing their stories, sharing your own.

September 11, 2001

25 years later, we remember. 🇺🇸
