On Sunday March 25th, members of SFD put in a new dock system at the Henry Hudson Park. These docks will be the new home of SFD's Rescue 4 boat. The boat has been docked in Coeymans for the last few years, but with help from the Town of Bethlehem, SFD was given permission to use a parcel of land at the park and bring the boat back up into SFD's District.

All 343 names of the those that lost their lives were read by anyone who wanted to participate. The service started at 8:46AM, the moment the first plane hit the first tower of the World Trade Center. Thank you to all that came and attended the service.
