OXNARD, Calif. – The City of Oxnard Fire Department invites the community to join firefighters in commemorating the terrible losses suffered on September 11, 2001, by attending the department’s “Day of Remembrance” ceremony.
On Wednesday, September 11th, 2019, all department flags will be raised at 6:55 a.m. Firefighters will be at attention and stand in complete silence as the colors are raised. At 6:59 a.m. – the moment the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed – dispatch will send an attention tone. A minute of silence will follow and then each station will acknowledge the occasion in its own way.
The ceremony will honor the New York firefighters, law enforcement personnel and civilians who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks.
The public is invited to attend the ceremony at their neighborhood fire station and join their local firefighters in this memorial tribute.
For more information, please contact Battalion Chief Sergio Martinez at (805) 385-7720 or via email at [email protected].
