Today marks 25 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Museums tell stories. They are places to remember, to reflect and to ensure that the people and events that have shaped our history are never forgotten. On this day 25 years ago, thousands of lives were lost and countless more were changed forever. The bravery and sacrifice of the firefighters, police officers, paramedics and many others who responded remains one of the most powerful legacies of that day. 9/11 not only shook the world, it changed the way emergency services prepare, respond and work together, with lessons from that day continuing to influence emergency response around the world. This Ambulance is preserved at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York. Damaged during the response to the attacks, today they are museum objects, preserved as powerful reminders of the people who served, the lives that were lost and the courage and resilience shown in the face of unimaginable circumstances. At the National Emergency Services Museum, we understand the importance of preserving these objects and the stories behind them. Every vehicle, uniform and piece of equipment can represent a person, a moment and a story that deserves to be remembered. 25 years on, we remember the victims, honour those who responded and reflect on a day that changed the world. We remember. We reflect. We tell their stories. 11 September 2001 #NeverForget #September11 #September11Anniversary #EmergencyServices #Museum
