10. Conway Fire Department 9/11 Memorial Dedication

The Conway Fire Department 9/11 Memorial was dedicated on September 11, 2016.

343 bricks were used during the construction representing the 343 Firefighters that lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

Two blue vertical beams of lights were placed in the memorial to represent “Tribute in Lights”, which was originally going to be named “Towers of Lights”, but the victims’ families felt that the name emphasized the buildings destroyed instead of the people killed.
