WARREN COUNTY, Ky. – Bowling Green and Warren County fire personnel gathered in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday to remember firefighters lost in 9/11.

Every year, firefighters from the Bowling Green Fire Department and Warren County Fire Department System climb 110 floors in remembrance.

Fire officials say each member was given a badge with a name and photograph of one of the fallen firefighters to climb in their honor.

This year, the honor guard presented its colors, and deputy chief Bret Smith presented an invocation.

In total, 343 firefighters lost their lives in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001.
