El Segundo firefighters gather with community to remember heroes of 9/11

Local firefighters and members of the community gathered in El Segundo Sunday to remember the heroes of 9/11.

The event at Fire Station 1 in El Segundo included a breakfast for members of the community, while remembering the sacrifices of those who rushed in to help after the terrorist attacks. 

"It is very important to know that history, to know that people actually made the ultimate sacrifice, which is tragic," said Battalion Chief Casey Snow. "At the same time, it shows the resolve of our Country and our service that we provide for each and every community throughout the nation."

The firefighters cooked pancakes and other breakfast items that were donated. The event began at 9 a.m. and was free of charge to attendees.
