The Bay St. Louis Fire Department joins the brotherhood of

firefighters all over this country and the world in mourning the loss of

the brave men and women of the Fire Department of New York,

New York Police Department and EMS personnel

   Our hearts go out to the families and friends who have suffered

         this great loss.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

On Friday September 13, 2001 the Bay St Louis Fire Department,

Police Department and Casino Magic began a joint effort to collect

funds to help the families of the fallen Firefighters, Police and EMS

personnel of New York City

This drive has been unbelievably successful and will continue

throughout the next few weeks.  Anyone who wishes to contribute to

this drive can contact the Fire Department at the following address

We would like to thank all who participated in this endeavor especially

those who gave so generously of their time

The support of the public as well as the local busineses was

outstanding.  A partial list of those who helped us out follows.   This

list may not include all who helped because throughout the weekend

anonymous people dropped off food for the volunteers and offered

their support and help
