Sussex County Community College is strengthening its Fire Science and Criminal Justice programs with a $10,000 grant from the Carolyn Jane Scott Charitable Trust. The funding will support a Fire Behavior & Thermal Imaging Training Enhancement Project.

This investment will provide additional training opportunities at the Sussex County Public Safety Academy, which will include a furnished-room burn cell and modern investigative equipment.

The new facility will give students and public safety professionals valuable hands-on experience through controlled live-fire demonstrations and realistic post-fire investigative scenarios.

Sussex County Community College, in partnership with PBA Local 138, held a 25th Anniversary 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at the College’s 9/11 Memorial on Connor Green.

Members of the College and community gathered to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11th and honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders.

The ceremony included the Sussex County Sheriff’s Honor Guard, the Police Pipes & Drums of Morris County, the Newton High School Choir, representatives from local police, fire, EMS, and veterans’ organizations, and Bugles Across America.

Keynote speaker Colonel Dave Melendez Jr., a member of the FDNY and Army National Guard, reflected on the unity and compassion Americans demonstrated following the attacks.

“September 11 was a tragedy that happened to America, but September 12 is about what Americans chose to do next,” Melendez said. “America is strongest when we see beyond ourselves.”

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful day of remembrance, reflection, and hope. We will never forget.
