Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and remember the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who ran toward danger while others ran to safety.

We remember the police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and civilians who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their bravery, service, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

This week we recognize the FIRST, first responders, our 911 dispatchers.

Often unseen, these are the calm voices on the other end of the line when you need help. They are professionals dedicated to gathering information and coordinating a response to get help where it is needed.

Join us in thanking them for their selfless service and dedication to the Miami community.
