The Palm Springs Fire Department will host their annual 9/11 event in remembrance of the tragic loss of lives on Sept. 11, 2001. Personnel will gather at 5:20 a.m. in front of the department's 9/11 memorial, located at 300 N. El Cielo. 

At 5:46 a.m. the exact time the first hijacked plane struck the north tower, the department will join in a moment of silence followed by remarks from a retired firefighter from Ladder Co. 85. At 6:34 a.m. the PSFD Honor Guard will ceremoniously lower the flag over the memorial to Half Staff.

The public is invited to attend.
