The gift of art now graces the headquarters of Palm Beach County Fire Rescue in honor of 9/11.
Two oil paintings were donated this morning by the estate of Celia Lipton Farris.
The paintings show the sorrow and heroism of firefighters responding to the Twin Towers before their collapse.
This is the first gift of art made by the Community Assistance and Benefit Corporation.
The group usually works throughout the year to raise money for equipment and services for firefighters.
