Chews Landing Fire Department Hosts Annual 9/11 Remembrance Friday

The Chews Landing Fire Department’s annual ceremony held in honor of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is set for Friday morning, 7 a.m., at the fire hall on 43 Somerdale Road.

The public is invited to join the township’s fire departments, the police department, Mayor David Mayer and representatives from surrounding fire departments in a moment of silence and brief reflection on the events of that day.

The fire department has a steel piece from the Twin Towers that is the focal point of the event. There are 343 flags in the Memorial Garden, honoring each firefighter who was killed on 9/11.
