In the aftermath of a tragedy, it is often hard to know what exactly to do. 25 years later, it can be equally as challenging to know how to honor the memory of those that lost their lives.

Today, as we reflect on what happened, we can try to honor the sacrifice of the 2,977 victims of 9/11 and more than 9,000 deaths from 9/11-related illness, by performing simple acts of kindness. It sounds elementary but as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.”

So if it strikes you as a day where you wish to do something to help remember the fallen, add a little love in the world. We all need it.

Our membership will be on duty today, as we always are, ready to serve when called.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

At the firehouse, we’re taught to look out for one another—and that responsibility doesn’t end when the call is over.

Throughout the month, you may notice our personnel wearing awareness shirts in recognition of Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

The semicolon (;) is a powerful symbol of su***de prevention and hope. In writing, it represents a point where a sentence could have ended, but the author chose to continue. It reminds us that even during our darkest moments, our story isn’t over yet.

The yellow rose symbolizes hope, friendship, remembrance, and support for those affected by su***de. Its bright color represents light during difficult times and serves as a reminder that no one has to face their struggles alone. During Su***de Prevention Month, it honors those we’ve lost while encouraging those still struggling to keep their story going.

We encourage everyone—our first responders and our community—to check in on one another, start the conversation, and remember that asking for help is a sign of strength.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988.

You matter.

Today we recognize the strength, solidarity, and dedication of organized labor. The wages, benefits, workplace protections, and safety standards Unions fight for don’t just strengthen our members - they help raise the standard for all working people.
United we stand. Together we move forward.
