Bangor Firefighters Honor the Heroes of 9-11
Updated On: Nov 04, 2011

Bangor -The Bangor Firefighters honored the heroes of 9-11 Sunday morning.
Firefighters at the Central Fire station held a moment of silence at 9:59 am, the time the south tower collapsed and at 10:28 am, the time the north tower collapse.
A Veazie carpenter created a replica of the world trade center and donated it to the department.
It was on display Sunday as a tribute to the first responders on that tragic day.
Captain Matt Costello says tragedies such as the attacks on 9-11 hit close to home for the members of the department.
"When it does happen it does affect us all. We all go through our little moment of silence whether it's just one firefighter that we hear in a residential structure somewhere in this country and we feel for them and their families afterwards," he said.
During the time of the attacks, members of the department volunteered their time and traveled to Ground Zero to help.
