The Sedona Fire District (SFD) is honored to have received one of the last remaining artifacts from the World Trade Center. The 5½-foot, 3,000-pound piece of steel is believed to be from the 20th floor of one of the Twin Towers. The memorial is honoring the 2,996 lives that were lost. Included in this number are 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers. SFD Fire Chief Kris Kazian states “The SFD 911 Memorial Committee and our local tradesmen have been hard at work to make sure we properly present this piece of America’s history here in Sedona. We are honored to have the chance to be part of the firefighters and police officers history and culture as 9/11 will forever be remembered. This is an amazing addition to our community”.
This project is a community effort was made possible by the generous donations from the community without their support this memorial would not have been possible.
