PA Fire stations

[Guest]

At the end of August 2008 a piece of WTC steel was transported from NYC to the Shanksville, PA Vol Fire Department where it was installed as a permanent memorial. Shanksville, itself, has a population of 250. In excess of 500 firerman motorcyclists met before dawn at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn NY and then accompanied the cross across 311 miles of NJ and PA.



Here are some pictures of the SVFD fire house, the unveiling, the FDNY detatchment and the firemen who made the ride.
