VIDEO: Ceremonies and fundraisers marked the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks Wednesday. Chicago's Black Fire Brigade honored the New York Black firefighters that died on September 11 at a ceremony at the Chicago fire station at 54th and Wabash."It's a pleasure and an honor to honor their legacy," Chicago Firefighter and EMT Jasmine Williams said. "Those were the initial firefighters in the service that looked like us and they start off our path for us. Essentially, they were trailblazers." NYC Fire Marshal John Coombs who was a firefighter at the time of the attack joined the ceremony in Washington Park. "It was important that we hold their names in history," Coombs said. "That we would honor them by acknowledging them."

VIDEO: Over the weekend, Jim Blake was on the line helping fight a massive fire at the former U.S. Steel building. Wednesday morning, the Joliet fire battalion chief got a big surprise when he walked into the meeting room: a retirement party. "Caught off guard, a little embarrassed, but happy. Very happy," he said. The party was the brainchild of 21-year-old Acey Longley. He's the son of Ty Longley, the former guitarist for the band Great White. Longley was born a few months after the fire during a Rhode Island concert that killed his father in 2003. Ty Longley was credited with saving others after the flames erupted from pyrotechnics on stage before he died. "My own father gave his life to save others' lives," Acey Longley said. The family lived in Plainfield, and Longley started visiting the Joliet fire station as a young boy.

VIDEO: Hudson residents may recall a familiar voice from local fire department recruitment ads—a voice that brought a cinematic touch to community service calls. James Earl Jones, known for his iconic deep voice, once lent his talents to the Hudson City Fire Department in the late 1990s, voicing ads that encouraged young people to join the department's apprenticeship program. "The Hudson City Fire Department is looking for a few good young people to join the firefighters' apprenticeship program. These will be young people who understand that giving something extra to the community is a way of getting something extra out of life," Jones said in the ad, his unmistakable voice delivering the message with gravitas. Jones's dedication to community causes, it seems, was not limited to the big screen.

VIDEO: Saving lives, in style! The Town of Orrington recently unveiled its new, state-of-the-art fire truck. Nearly three years after the town placed the order, the truck pulled up to the firehouse that was built specifically to house bigger apparatus like this. Fire Chief Scott Stewart says the whole rig is custom-built, down to the eye-catching black paint job. "Yeah, we... I... really wanted to do something different from our traditional color. We kind of went back and forth with a few different things," Stewart said. "And actually this change came at the last hour. The truck was ordered red and we changed it shortly after placing the order just because we wanted to do something a little different," Stewart said. "It was kind of a secret. Most people here didn't know until it started getting built and the pictures started showing up from the manufacturer."

VIDEO: On the day America marked 23 years since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, more people who helped in the aftermath became eligible to enroll in the World Trade Center Health Program. The program expanded enrollment to include additional first responders who helped at the Flight 93 site and the Pentagon. A retired law enforcement member and author who volunteered to respond to the scene of the crash in Shanksville shared what this expansion means to her and other heroes as she battles her own health issues, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Bells rang 40 times on Wednesday to honor the victims who died when United Flight 93 plummeted into a Somerset County field on Sept. 11, 2001, after passengers and crew members voted to fight back against a group of hijackers.
