The Raymertown Volunteer Fire Co. is constructing a Memorial to honor the firefighters lost on September 11, 2001 as well as our own dedicated firefighters that have passed away.

We have been honored to receive a section of steel column from the World Trade Center towers. Currently, the steel is located at our station and will be permanently erected at the center of our Memorial.

The Memorial will be constructed primarily of cut stone along a vertical backdrop wall and engraved brick pavers covering the ground surface surrounding the World Trade Center column. Granite panels will be mounted to the wall honoring our deceased members as well as the firefighters’ Maltese cross.

The construction of the Memorial will be funded by donations. We will be using brick pavers as fund raisers to help us achieve our goal. We are asking donors to contribute $50.00 for a standard 4x8 size engraved brick paver and $100.00 for an 8x8 size brick. These bricks will be permanently engraved with the names of people or businesses (no phone numbers please), or possibly a simple message. For the convenience of our donors, we have set up a website to see what the bricks look like, type in their name/message, as well as utilizing PayPal for payment. If you would rather make a financial contribution, you may certainly do so by sending a check to the Raymertown Fire Co., 43 Mason Lane Troy, NY 12180 specifying “Memorial Fund”.

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Pauline Hansen,                                       Mark Stackrow,
