9-11 Response...

In response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the South Trail community and the employees of South Trail Fire and Rescue gave of their time, talents, and resources to the families of those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.  Through the South Trail Fire and Rescue District, the community donated over $20,000 to the New York City Fire and Emergency Services Relief Fund and the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.  The South Trail community also responded with an outpouring of support for their local South Trail firefighters.

On September 28, South Trail firefighters joined with other Lee County emergency services providers for a disaster relief boot drive.  For two hours on September 29, the South Trail firefighters served as celebrity scoopers for free Ben and Jerry's ice cream--with all donations going to the relief funds.
