25 years later, we still remember.On September 11, 2001, our nation witnessed unimaginable loss. Among the thousands who never made it home were 343 firefighters who answered the call, ran toward the danger, and gave their lives in service to others.Today, we pause to remember the firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel, and civilians who lost their lives that day. We remember their courage, their sacrifice, and the families and brothers and sisters they left behind.Along with every other firefighter, we carry their memory with us every time we answer the call. Time may go on but the commitment remains the same:To serve. To protect. To never forget.From the members of Perry Township Fire Department, we honor those who gave everything on September 11, 2001. Never Forget.Never Forgotten.Always Remembered.(Photo credit: Mike Fetscher)

For many years, the West Side Nut Club have been great supporters for multiple agencies and groups. Last night, was no different. We are so thankful for donations towards water rescue equipment and the annual donation to the department in general. Thank you and good luck on this year’s Fall Festival!

Happy National Dog Day! We may be a little biased, but we think we have a pretty great dog to celebrate!Kia is much more than a cute face around the firehouse. As our Crisis Response K9, she is there to support our firefighters, help build connection within our department and throughout the community, and provide some much-needed comic relief!Of course, when she’s off duty, she’s still a 3-year-old Boxer who loves her toys, rolling in the grass, making new friends, and finding an available lap for a nap.A big thank you to K9s For Warriors for providing Kia to our department and Wholesomes Pet Food for keeping her happy, healthy, and full of energy!Today we celebrate Kia and the other Fire Dogs in our community, as well as all the dogs who make our lives a little better just by being there.Happy National Dog Day from PTFD!
