Just when things seemed to be settling down with the kids back to school and the Labor Day holiday behind us the area was hit with severe storms again which brought down trees, wires and poles. Fortunately, there was no flooding as with the July storms. Many areas from Lower Alsace up the mountain into Alsace Township suffered power outages and blocked roads. During all of this we also assisted with structure fires, CO alarms and medical assists answering over 17 calls in just a few days. Fortunately, things have calmed down and we sure hope it stays that way.
Which brings us to today, September 11th. We were all much younger then, in fact some of you may have only vague memories of this tragic event that claimed so many lives on American soil. Hundreds of police, firefighters and EMS personnel made the ultimate sacrifice that day along with almost 3,000 civilians in the worst terrorist attack on the United States. It is important that all of us REMEMBER this day and the sacrifices made. Take a moment out of your day to reflect, attend a remembrance ceremony and give thanks for those that gave their lives 22 years ago.
