The Remembrance Rescue Project was created by firefighters to preserve retired fire apparatus utilized at the World Trade Center site on 9/11. The Project works with fire departments across the country to host an apparatus and facilitate 9/11 educational programming, memorials and remembrance events. The Project strives to keep the memories alive of those lost on 9/11 and all firefighters killed in the line of duty every year.
The city of Allen is serving as a host site for Rescue Truck 4 and all activities are organized through AFFA volunteers. It has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people in the Dallas area during its limited visit.
