Boise Firefighters Remember 9-11

 

BOISE, Id – Three hundred forty three firefighters died at the World Trade Center on September 11th.  That’s a number firefighters anywhere around the country are familiar with.  The number 343 came up often during Samantha Wright’s recent visit to Boise’s Fire Station 7 near the airport.  We hear from local firefighters who remember that day ten years ago.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
