MAYNARD – On September 11, 2020, firefighters marked the 19th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks with a special announcement and ringing of the memorial bell. The firefighters flew a 9/11 Remembrance Flag and stood at attention while Maynard Dispatcher Justyne Stewart read the following announcement:
“Maynard Fire on the air with a special announcement to mark the 19th Anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001. We invite all monitors to join us in a minute of silence to remember the victims and the sacrifices made that day.”
After a minute of silence, Firefigher Craig Desjardins rang 4 rounds of 5 bells in solidarity with the other remembrance services throughout the state. Captain Parr noted “those walking and driving all came to a stop and joined us in the solemn moment.”
