Kennewick firefighter procession honors another 9/11 victim

Tri-Citians gathered on Kennewick Avenue on Saturday to remember retired firefighter Steve Bailie, whose death was considered in the line of duty because the cancer was linked to his work helping in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in New York.

About 30 fire trucks traveled through Kennewick in a procession to the cemetery.

The toxic dust breathed by rescuers has killed hundreds of other firefighters.
