Twenty-five years have passed since September 11, 2001, but the loss of that day remains with us.

We remember the innocent lives taken, the first responders who ran toward danger, and those who later became sick and died because of their work at Ground Zero. We also remember the families who have carried that pain for a quarter century.

An entire generation has now grown up without a personal memory of 9/11. It is our responsibility to teach them what happened, who we lost, and how Americans stood together in the days that followed.

May we never forget their names, their courage, or their sacrifice.

Some days remind us just how quickly everything can change. The officers and members of the Howells Fire Company would like to express our heartfelt support to the members of Coldenham Fire Rescue following the devastating fire that damaged their firehouse and emergency apparatus. We are grateful that the firefighters injured during the incident have been treated and released, and we wish them a complete and speedy recovery.
For every volunteer fire department, the firehouse is more than a place to store trucks. It is where friendships are built, training takes place, and neighbors come together to answer the call for help. Seeing a fellow department suffer such a tremendous loss is something that impacts all of us in the fire service.
To everyone at Coldenham Fire Rescue, please know that your fire service family is standing with you. We have no doubt your department will come through this challenge stronger than ever, and we are keeping all of your members in our thoughts during the days ahead. Coldenham Fire-Rescue

This past Monday evening Howells members drilled together with Mechanicstown FD flowing some new nozzles they recently bought and also flowing water through the tower ladder. This was a great opportunity for our members to review drafting operations and also supply valuable time to the pump operator to flow multiple lines at the same time. Thank you to Mechanicstown Fire Company for the opportunity and hospitality.

This past Monday and Saturday Howells members drilled on hand line advancement, moving and flowing hand lines as well as water supply from our tanker to the squad. Valuable training like this on the basics keeps our crews skills sharp and efficient when seconds count durning a true emergency. Our fire police crews also controlled traffic while we drilled allowing them training time with traffic operations on an active scene.
