The 10 year anniversary of 9/11 was commemorated by Rancho Santa Fe Firefighters Local 4349 in conjunction with Horizon Christian Fellowship in a “Night of Hope” ceremony. Music by The Mike Clark Band, The Katinas, and Crystal Lewis reverberated through a crowd of around 3000 at the site of the Horizon church and the temporary Rancho Santa Fe fire station in Fairbanks Ranch. The night included prayer, a message of hope by Horizon’s Sr. Pastor, bagpipes played by Local 4349 firefighter Dave McQuead, and a special dedication of a FDNY plaque to honor the 343 firefighters that lost their lives on that fateful day. This plaque will hang on the wall at the new Fairbanks Ranch fire station upon its completion and will be situated in such a manner that each firefighter will pass by it on the way to the engine when responding to emergencies reminding us to be vigilant and brave during the next call to duty. A dim light will, in the spirit of the eternal flame, illuminate the plaque 24 hours a day to display the truth that “We will never forget” the events of 9/11. Local 4349 would like to give special thanks to Sr. Pastor Bob Botsford, Horizon Christian Fellowship, and all of those who attended for the chance to honor our fallen brethren.
