LIGHTTHE NIGHT FOR FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS

This May, a grateful Nation honors its fallen fire service heroes during the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend-the official national tribute to those firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year. This national event, which has been held every October in the past, has been moved to May. As in years past, we are asking landmarks, buildings, families, and fire departments across the country to participate in “Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters.” Thank you so much!!
