On Monday, the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, police and fire departments around Santa Barbara County will hold ceremonies to remember the deadliest terror attack on American soil and honor the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001.
Santa Barbara County Fire is extending an invitation for the public to join them at any of their 16 fire stations at 9 a.m. for a moment of silence and lowering of the flag, as a solemn act to “honor lives lost on 9/11 and recognize the enduring pain of families, friends, and communities left behind.”
In the City of Santa Barbara, the city’s police and fire departments will host a 30-minute ceremony at 8:30 a.m. on the front steps of the Police Department, located at 215 East Figueroa Street, to pause and pay tribute to the lives lost in the devastation and to those who contributed to heroic rescue-recovery efforts that followed.
