Fire House 88 - 9/11 Memorial

We worked with a local General Contractor, on a very special project in front of a new firehouse in Riviera Beach. Fire House 88 was designed as a working memorial to the fire fighters and rescue workers who lost their lives in the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center. The plans included a Memorial Patio, centered by a flagpole, surrounded by 4 terrazzo covered masonry half walls. Each wall displayed 3 cast aluminum plaques, with all the names, ranks and assigned Fire Station of all the 343 Fire Fighters, Rescue Workers and Clergy who lost their lives that day. It was a very emotional project for us, especially as we lost friends and neighbors in that attack. From the initial concept, research to make sure that we had all of the correct information, to the design of the plaques and the difficult installation, we were determined to deliver a living work of art through the use of the signage. We even installed an actual piece of recovered steel beams from the World Trade Center Towers on one area of the terrazzo walls. Our commitment to this project with quality materials and expert installation, exceeded our customers’ expectations. This 9-11 Memorial is visited everyday by local people and visitors to the area. The finished project is a visual remembrance of the courageous actions of many people on that fateful day, and the commitment of The Riviera Beach Fire Department to keep the memory alive. It was our honor and privilege to work on this project.
