(AP)-- Firefighters in south-central Kentucky are trying to finish a memorial that includes part of an I-beam from the world trade center in enough time to dedicate it on Sept. 11th.

Glasgow Fire Chief Tony Atwood said that the department is spreading the word about the memorial in an effort to raise the $5,000 needed to finance the project.

Fire Lt. Jeff Manning designed the memorial and says it will stretch about five feet wide and stand about six feet tall.

A pool of water in front of the monument will feature a clock face that shoots water at the times when planes crashed during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

A bench will also sit in front of the pool.
