Firemen Reflect on 9/11

As you enter the Danbury Fire Department on New Street, you are immediately greeted by two large displays dedicated to Sept. 11.

The boards are colorful, much like the firefighters themselves, and filled with respect and dedication to the memory of those who lost their lives during the tragic event.

In the accompanying video, Danbury Fire Chief Geoff Herald, Assistant Fire Chief Robert Keenan and Lieutenant Tyler Bergemann share their thoughts and recollections of Sept. 11.

A full list of the victims and their hometowns is available here. 

Many thanks go to the U.S. Army Corps of Enginers, Petty Office 1st Class Corey Lewis and Eric Durie of the Navy Visual News Service, Staff Sgt. Ben Navratil, Cpl. Benjamin Crilly, Scott Cherrone, Libby O'Ruairi, Christine Rose, Keith Nelsen and Kathleen Ramunni for the images used in this montage.
