New Hampshire fire station receives piece of World Trade Center
The steel section will eventually become part of a permanent 9/11 memorial at the front of the fire station.
LONDONDERRY, N.H. (AP) — A steel section of the World Trade Center has been given to a New Hampshire fire station through a foundation named in memory of a fallen 9/11 firefighter.
The Eagle Tribune reports a motorcade delivered it to the Central Fire Station in Londonderry on Friday.
Fire and police officials gathered to witness the 3-foot, 60-pound section being brought into the station and placed on a display. Inscribed with the words “WTC 9/11” and “Never Forget,” the steel section will eventually become part of a permanent 9/11 memorial at the front of the fire station. It will be completed in June.
Fire Chief Darren O’Brien says the piece “represents resilience, a piece of remembering.”
The donation of the steel section was made possible by the Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation.
