Best Memorial Estate Bakersfield Near Me

4worldlovers: BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — A piece of history rolled through Bakersfield on Wednesday morning, after the Bakersfield Fire Department received a 22-foot long structural steel girder from the World Trade Center.

The national artifact is one of many sent throughout the country for 9/11 memorials.

Fire department spokesman Anthony Galagaza said his department's request was approved because of where the memorial will be placed, in between a fire department and police substation.

"What it will do is bring the history of what happened on that tragic day to Bakersfield," said Galagaza.

Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., the piece was escorted through town by Bakersfield firefighters, Bakersfield police, the California Highway Patrol, Hall Ambulance and the Bakersfield Freedom Riders.

The girder was taken through Chester Avenue from Highway 58, to the fire department headquarters in downtown Bakersfield at 2101 H St.

Mike Edgar, a local truck driver who took the 12 day trip from Bakersfield to New York and back to pick up the artifact, said it was something he will remember forever.
