Twenty years after multiple terrorist attacks in the USA took place, emergency responders and residents of Sheridan gathered to remember those who lost their lives.
Sheridan Fire and Rescue held a Memorial outside of the downtown fire station, and rang the bell in three sets of five at 7:59am, which was the time in the Mountain Time Zone, that the South tower of the World Trade Center, the second of the two towers, collapsed.
The Memorial also recognized those who lost their lives at the Pentagon, and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Outside of the downtown fire station is a memorial that recognizes each of the 343 firefighters, who died at Ground Zero in New York City, while trying to climb the 110 flights of stairs in effort to rescue anyone they could.
Check back later on SheridanMedia.com for a video of the ceremony.
