911 Remembrance Ceremony

(ABOVE) Santa Monica Fire Chief Jim Hone addresses his department during the 911 Remembrance Ceremony. "This is a special day for our nation and our public safety agencies. A day where the importance or impact will not diminish in the years to come," he said. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in New York, at the Pentagon in Arlington, Va. and in Shanksville, Pa. resulted in the deaths of more than 2,700 people. Of those killed, 343 were FDNY Firefighters. In recognition of those who perished on that tragic day, the Santa Monica Fire Department will annually conduct a brief and solemn remembrance ceremony consistent with the International Association of Fire Chief's recommended protocols.
