The Northland remembers September 11!

The Hibbing Department, as it has done every year, held a 911 observance this morning outside of the department’s headquarters building. The master of ceremonies for the event was Battalion Chief Chris Petrack, who has personally visited the 911 site in New York. The event was attended by area clergy, Hibbing Mayor Rick Cannata, along with members of the public. In his speech, Petrack made mention of the 343 FDNY firefighters who died on September 11, as well as those who have passed away as a result of illnesses related to being directly involved in the rescue and recovery operations.
