SEPTEMBER 11 — WE REMEMBER

Twenty-five years later, we still remember.

We remember the 2,977 lives taken on September 11, 2001. We remember the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics, and countless civilians who ran toward danger while others were running away.

We remember the 343 firefighters and 60 police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice at the World Trade Center, along with the EMS professionals who gave everything they had to help others.

Their courage reminds us why we wear these uniforms.

As members of Lake George Fire and Rescue and Lake George Volunteer EMS, we honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the first responders who answered the call without hesitation.

Today, we remember their bravery.
We honor their sacrifice.
We carry their memory forward.

Never forgotten. Never diminished. Never again.

We will always remember.

🚌 SCHOOL BUS SAFETY REMINDER! 🚸
School is back—and that means more school buses and children on our roads!
🔴 RED FLASHING LIGHTS = STOP!
✋ Stop at least 20 feet from the bus and stay stopped until the red lights are off.
🟡 YELLOW/AMBER LIGHTS = SLOW DOWN & PREPARE TO STOP.
Remember: A few extra seconds could save a child's life. Slow down. Pay attention. Stop for the bus. ❤️
Let’s get our kids to school—and back home—safely! 🚌💛
