For those fire departments wishing to commemorate September 11, 2001, the IAFC provides the following recommended ceremony protocol.

In making the recommendation, the IAFC states that the ceremony is a proposed format only—it does not constitute a national day of recognition. Further, the IAFC stresses that such participation is entirely voluntary and should be considered on a community-by-community basis with the input of local law enforcement and municipal leadership.
