Never Forget.

Our community and nation pauses today to mourn those lives lost and remember the sacrifices made 20 years ago today on September 11th, 2001.

A difficult day for residents of two homes in Old Town, damaged by fire.
Thankfully no residents or firefighters were injured. Two dogs, inside the home at the time at the fire, survived. Firefighters rescued the pets, bringing them outside to be cared for & reunited with owners
