Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage and sacrifice of the firefighters, first responders, and ordinary citizens who answered the call that day.

We remember those who never made it home, those who ran toward danger to help others, and the families whose lives were forever changed.

Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.

We are incredibly grateful to Banner Fire Equipment for the generous donation of a thermal imaging camera to the St. Louis County Fire Academy!

A special thank you to Banner Fire Equipment CEO Mike Benker and Sales Territory Manager Dan Gorton for supporting the Academy and helping provide our recruits with equipment that will enhance their hands-on training and prepare them for the realities of the fire service.

We would also like to recognize North County Fire and Rescue Fire Chief Keith Goldstein, who was instrumental in helping make this donation possible. We greatly appreciate Chief Goldstein‘s continued support of the Academy and our mission.

Partnerships like these make a real difference in the training and education of future firefighters.

Thank you to Banner Fire Equipment, Mike, Dan, and Chief Goldstein for investing in our recruits and the future of the fire service!
