The Foundation of Our Event

Before a single engine roars, before the first siren sounds at 11:11 AM on September 20th, 2026...

We Honor Our Fallen Heroes

We will pause to read the names of every firefighter lost in the line of duty in 2025 and 2026. This is not an addition to the record attempt—it is the reason we are gathering.
