Winscombe crews joined crews across the country to mark the moment.

Today, we will join communities across the world in remembering the victims of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, when four hijacked aircraft were used in coordinated attacks in the United States, including the destruction of New York's World Trade Center.

Thousands of people lost their lives, including 343 firefighters from the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) who responded to help those in danger.

At 1.46pm, the exact UK time the first aircraft struck the North Tower, firefighters and staff across our Service will observe a one-minute silence. Flags will be lowered to half-mast, and operational crews will gather in an act of remembrance and respect.

Today, we honour the courage, selflessness and sacrifice of all those who responded, and we remember everyone whose lives were forever changed by the events of that day.

Tomorrow we will be observing a minutes silence at 13:46 on station in memory of the events of Spetember 11th.
