On Monday evening, September 11, 2006, the Lynbrook Fire Department, led by Chief Keith Festa, attended the Village of Lynbrook’s dedication and unveiling of its new 9-ll Memorial that remembers 17 Lynbrook residents or former residents that were killed at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

On that fateful day and the following day, members of the Department’s then Heavy Rescue Extrication Team, the Floodlight Unit, and the Emergency Medical Company, responded to Manhattan where Lynbrook firefighters worked on recovery efforts.
