Campbell County Public Safety extends its heartfelt condolences to the family of Claude Owen and the entire Concord Volunteer Fire Department.

A respected former Fire Chief and dedicated active member, Claude leaves behind a legacy built on quiet strength, steady leadership, selfless service, and an unwavering commitment to others. He was the kind of man whose actions spoke louder than words, whose presence brought calm, and whose dedication helped shape the very best of the fire service.

Though he may be gone, the impact of his service, the lives he touched, and the example he set will never fade. His legacy will continue through the brotherhood he cherished and the generations of firefighters who will carry his example forward.

Rest easy, Chief Owen. You served well, you led with purpose, and you will never be forgotten. Your watch is over, but your legacy lives on.

25 Years. Still Remembered. Never Forgotten.
Twenty-five years have passed since
September 11, 2001. Time has moved forward, but the memories, the sacrifice, and the meaning of that day remain.

Today, Campbell County Public Safety remembers those who lost their lives, the families who were forever changed, and the first responders who answered the call without knowing what they would face. For those of us in public safety, September 11 reminds us why we answer the call — to serve, to protect, and to stand beside our communities when they need us most.

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