9-11 Observance
On September 11, 2002 fire departments from around Kent County joined us in an observance. We were very happy to get participation from each of the ambulance transport agencies and the Kent County Sheriff and Michigan State Police. Plainfield hosted the observance but everyone who attended contributed.
