On the 18th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Marion County held their third annual Public Safety Night on the square in Knoxville.
The event honored local first responders across Marion County, while also honoring the memory of the first responders who lost their lives during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
“9/11 is one of those things that impacted everybody,” said Chief of Pella Ambulance Greg Higginbotham. “It changed the way we thought about fire, changed the way we thought about law enforcement, changed the way we thought about EMS… People were so proud of the stuff that happened that day and the way people responded and acted selflessly to help people in need. That’s something that we’ll never forget.”
