The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department will be hosting its annual Sept. 11 Remembrance Ceremony at all 10 of its fire stations throughout the two cities on Wednesday as a way to honor the first responders who died during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
LPFD Chief Joe Testa said in a statement to the Weekly that the fire department’s 23rd annual event will pay tribute to the 343 New York City firefighters who “made the ultimate sacrifice at the World Trade Center, and remember that our nation’s capital was also under attack.”
“As we gather for the LPFD September 11 remembrance, it’s a moment for firefighters, police officers, city officials, and our community to come together and reflect on the significance of that day,” Testa said. “This ceremony serves as a powerful reminder of our commitment to service and our unwavering support for our fellow firefighters.”
According to the LPFD, the ceremonies will begin at 9:45 a.m. The ceremonies typically involve a moment of silence as each of the stations lower their U.S. flags to half-staff.
