Last night, LAFC members Chris Trace, Life Member and Cumberland County Fire Chiefs Association President Dave Warren, and District Assistant Chief Steve Overmiller had the honor of attending the 2026 Cumberland County Fire & EMS Memorial Service. This year’s service held special significance as our community gathered to honor our fallen fire and EMS personnel while commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.
As we mark 25 years since that tragic day, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, including the firefighters, EMS providers, law enforcement officers, and other first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice. We also remember those who answered the call in the days, months, and years that followed.
Here at Lower Allen, that history has a permanent place at our station. Displayed at the front of our station is a piece of steel from the World Trade Center, serving as a lasting memorial and a daily reminder of the lives lost, the bravery shown, and the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001.
For our members and our community, it is a reminder that even as the years pass, we continue to honor their courage, their service, and their sacrifice.
25 years later, we will never forget. 🇺🇸

Just as we wrapped up responding to more than 50 calls from Saturday’s storm, our first responders continued working tirelessly through the night to answer emergencies from the second round of severe weather.
We are incredibly grateful for the dedication of our firefighters, EMS personnel, law enforcement, public works crews, utility workers, and everyone who has been working around the clock to keep our community safe.
As additional rain moves through the area, please do your part to help keep everyone safe:
🌧️ Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Never drive through flooded roadways—you can’t tell how deep the water is or if the road beneath has been washed away.
🌊 Stay away from creeks, streams, and other fast-moving water, as water levels can rise quickly and currents can be stronger than they appear.
🍃 If it is safe to do so, take a few minutes to clear leaves and debris from storm drains near your home. Keeping storm drains clear can help reduce localized flooding.
Please continue to use caution, be patient as crews respond to ongoing incidents, and thank you for doing your part to help keep our community safe.
