🇺🇸 25 YEARS. NEVER FORGOTTEN.

September 11, 2001, changed our nation forever.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the 2,977 innocent lives lost on that tragic day, and we honor the countless first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away.

We remember the 343 members of the FDNY, 37 members of the Port Authority Police Department, 23 NYPD officers, and all of the police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, military members, and civilians who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication remind us of what it means to serve something greater than ourselves.

Today, and every day, we Remember. Honor. Never Forget.

🇺🇸 Local 4215 stands with our brothers and sisters who made the ultimate sacrifice.

25 years later — NEVER FORGOTTEN.

Our deepest condolences to the Franklin County Fire & Rescue family following the passing of Firefighter Kolby Tucker.

Local 4215 extends our heartfelt sympathies to Kolby’s family, loved ones, friends, and fellow firefighters during this incredibly difficult time.

Although three years may seem like a short time, the impact a firefighter has on their department and the people they serve can last a lifetime. Kolby’s dedication, willingness to learn, and commitment to becoming a better firefighter clearly made him a valued member of the Franklin County Fire & Rescue family.

We stand with our brothers and sisters at Franklin County Fire & Rescue as they mourn the loss of one of their own. May you find strength in one another, in the memories you shared with Kolby, and in the brotherhood of the fire service.

Rest easy, Firefighter Tucker. We’ll take it from here.
