Join the Central Ohio Fire Museum & Learning Center on September 10th for a special event commemorating the 25th Anniversary of September 11th.

September 11, 2001, forever changed the fire service. It reshaped how departments across the nation train, respond, communicate, and support one another—while also reminding us of the courage, sacrifice, and brotherhood that define the profession.

This meaningful evening will feature a panel of Central Ohio Fire Service leaders, remarks from Christopher Carver, Former Director - FDNY Fire Dispatch and our Board President, and will be moderated by 10TV – WBNS anchor

We are grateful to for their support and to for providing the facility for this important gathering.

Together, we will reflect, remember, and honor the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the lasting impact this day continues to have on the fire service and our communities.

Please register soon—space is limited: https://square.link/u/iyJzaRLK
