Please join us as we commemorate the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 along with Niagara County Sheriffs office.

This September 11 marks the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, as well as downing of United Flight 93 in Somerset Co., Pa., when the plane’s passengers attempted to overcome four hijackers. Nearly 3,000 lives were lost over the three locations.

It is estimated that over 400 First Responders lost their lives that day, making the ultimate sacrifice. Firefighters, EMT's, Law Enforcement, and Military Personnel we remember amongst our fallen.

The Annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb will be held at the Niagara Gorge on 9/11 at 6pm. Join us, as we honor the First Responders who climbed 110 stories, or 1,980 steps, in their attempts to rescue those trapped inside the burning World Trade Center Towers.

Your $25 donation includes a commemorative T-Shirt and water, with proceeds benefitting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Cash is due the day of the event.

This event is open to all. Bring your families and come together with us as we remember.

After years of advocacy by FASNY, the NYS Assembly has passed landmark legislation increasing the volunteer firefighter and EMS tax credit from $200 to $800, the first increase since the program was established nearly 20 years ago.

This legislation, S.6233-A (Sen. Martinez) / A.6790-A (MOA McMahon), also removes outdated restrictions that prevented volunteers from receiving both the state income tax credit and locally authorized property tax exemptions, delivering long-overdue support for volunteer emergency responders across New York state.

“This is a transformational moment for volunteer emergency services in New York State,” said FASNY First Vice President, Donald J. Farrell. “Quadrupling the volunteer firefighter and EMS tax credit from $200 to $800 sends a powerful message that New York recognizes the critical role volunteers play in protecting communities every day.”

As volunteer departments statewide continue to face recruitment and retention challenges, the legislation represents one of the most significant investments in volunteer emergency services in decades.

The Senate is expected to advance the measure in the coming days.
