Paris Fire Department

🚒 It’s been a busy few weeks at Paris Fire Department!
From multiple fires and hundreds of calls for service to hands-on training that keeps our crews ready, our firefighters have been staying busy serving our community.
In between emergency calls and training, we’ve also had the opportunity to teach hundreds of kids about fire safety and give them a closer look at how PFD operates.
We’re proud to serve the citizens of Paris and Lamar County and are grateful for the continued support of our community! ❤️🚒

As this day comes to an end, we remember all the first responders, citizens, flight crews, servicemen, and servicewomen who paid the ultimate price 25 years ago today—and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the years since.

We also remember the families, friends, and loved ones who were left behind to carry the pain and loss of that cowardly act.

We will never forget their sacrifice. We will never forget the lives that were lost. And we will never forget the families who continue to live with that loss.

25 years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.

🇺🇸 Never Forget.
