Capital Remembrance of September 11 Features “Into the Fire”
This month saw the sixth anniversary of the September 11
attacks in which 2,974 people were killed by terrorists who hijacked
four commercial jetliners. Fire service personnel represented 343 of those
deaths.
Recently, Fireman's Fund and the National Fallen
Firefighters Foundation announced that 11 fire departments across the
country received grants generated from "Into the Fire" fundraising efforts.
This summer, Fireman's Fund employees awarded 22 grants,
totaling $418,000, to fire departments and organizations across the
country. Funding for employee-directed grants is tied directly to our
company’s performance.
