9/11 Remembrance At Hamden Fire Department

From Hamden Fire Chief David A. Berardesca

HAMDEN, CT — This year marks the 17 year anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The memories created by the attacks will never be forgotten. It is said that time is the great healer, but for those who are old enough to remember the tragedy of that day, we know that time has not healed, but only made us more compassionate for the individuals who have suffered and for those who protect the country we love.

In order to pay tribute to the emergency responders and civilians who lost their lives on 9/11 along with members of our military who have given their lives in order to protect our freedom, the Hamden Fire Department extends an invitation to the community to visit any one of its fire stations on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2018 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Firefighters will be on hand to reflect upon memories of 9/11, demonstrate equipment and conduct tours of their station. Please join us in our quest to “Never Forget”.
