Today, as we are excited for the start of Football and the Bills season… we MUST also look back and reflect on the tragic events that happened on this day 22 years ago. We must never forget all the lives lost- including 343 of our own brother and sister firefighters and paramedics. And continue to pray for those who are still battling health issues coming from that horrible day. UNITY, RESPECT, HONOR, REMEMBER

A big shout out to the crews from our fire dept who have spent countless hours responding to nonstop EMS and rescue calls. Some have been there since early Friday morning with very little sleep. We had 50+ people rescued from stranded vehicles and given warm shelter and food at our firehouse. Without our dedicated volunteers the outcome of this storm could have been a lot worse. Please remember to stay home and please don’t go out on the roads. Merry Christmas to All! Stay safe!!
