Hackensack IAFF Local 2081

25 YEARS LATER — NEVER FORGOTTEN 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001 changed our nation and our fire service forever.

On the 25th anniversary, Hackensack Firefighters IAFF Local 2081 and Hackensack Fire Officers IAFF Local 3172 remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, including the firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel, and civilians who never made it home.

We also remember the first responders who answered the call in the days, weeks, and months that followed. Many Hackensack firefighters gave up their days off to stand alongside the FDNY in the rescue and recovery efforts.

We especially remember our own Hackensack brothers who have since passed from illnesses related to their service:
▪️Lt. James Walker III— February 7, 2026
▪️FF Rich Kubler — July 25, 2020
▪️FF Dennis Walker — June 15, 2011

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

🇺🇸 We invite everyone to join us tomorrow, September 11, at 2:30 PM sharp at Fire Headquarters, 205 State Street, for the City of Hackensack’s 9/11 Ceremony.

25 years later, we remember. We honor. We never forget.
September 11, 2001 — September 11, 2026
