📰 News we're reading

• 9/11 inspired a generation to answer the call to the fire service (firerescue1.com) — Two Libertyville firefighter-paramedics with strong Grayslake ties describe how the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath helped steer them into the fire service, including time working for the Grayslake Fire Protection District. Their stories, along with others from nearby departments, show how that day still shapes local career choices, training programs, and the way suburban firefighters honor the sacrifices made 25 years ago.
