This year the Lafayette Fire Company No. 1 “A Firehouse Grill”, owned by 27 St. Louis area Firefighter’s, Paramedic’s, and Emergency Medical Technicians are one of the sponsors for the 2011 Firefighters’ Weekend, which includes the 28th Annual Great Fire Engine Rally.

In honor of our brothers that paid the ultimate sacrifice we would like to have a firefighters’ walk with 343 FIREFIGHTERS!! That’s right we said 343!! We want to get three-hundred and forty-three firefighters to walk to show our brothers of the FDNY that they have truly not been forgotten, and to remind the public the sacrifice the men of the FDNY made. We will NEVER FORGET!! If you are paid, volunteer, or retired, WE WANT YOU! A brother is a brother! Man or woman, Explorer, Firefighter, Officer come and join your brothers and sisters in the largest 9-11 tribute in the Midwest.
