SANDPOINT — Never forget.
Carrying American flags, dressed in full firefighting turnouts, six members of the all-volunteer Clark Fork Fire Department walked across the Long Bridge on Wednesday to pay tribute to the firefighters and other first responders lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"It's an honor to be able to wear the turnouts, wear the helmet and say that you're a firefighter, especially with the sacrifices that firefighters have made throughout history up until this point," CFFD Capt. Austin Theander said.
