911 MEMORIAL NEAR COMPLETION

The Bakersfield Fire Department’s 911 Memorial is expected to be ready just in time for Sunday’s 15th anniversary. Chief Doug Greener says they are completing construction between the fire and police stations on Buena Vista Road in southwest Bakersfield after receiving a six-and-a-half ton piece of World Trade Center steel in April. The I-beam stands 22-feet high and will be unveiled during a ceremony at noon on Sunday.
