Robert "Butch" Cobb will be presenting his Never Forget Means Never Forget lecture over his 9/11 response from Jersey City. Location is KOC Hall at 2655 FM 1488, Conroe, TX

Join us for an afternoon with Deputy Chief Robert “Butch” Cobb of the Jersey City Fire Department (JCFD). Proceeds from the presentation go to Project Fire Buddies, firefighters delivering joy to children in need.

This presentation follows members of the Jersey City Fire Department as they are dispatched to assist the FDNY & NY/NJ Port Authority Emergency Service Units (ESU), Just 10 minutes after the second tower was struck.

This is a street level view of Jersey City Fire Department search & rescue operations at ground zero, the evacuation of Stuyvesant High School near the North Tower after PD reported, “devices in the school”, and how members of the JCFD created a decontamination area to wash off victims covered in dust and debris. You will be given a unique look at rescue operations underground at the PATH subway tunnels that connect Jersey City Exchange Place subway station to the Manhattan WTC station. You will also witness the massive flotilla created to evacuate survivors during the WTC attack. Over 4,000 injured victims including civilians, police, and firefighters were transported via boats to the Jersey City waterfront for medical assistance and transported to area hospitals. The program will review the major efforts of statewide EMS units.

All family, friends, and neighbors are welcome. This program features real audio and several exclusive video clips.
