Springfield Fire Company Honors Fallen Firefighters

Springfield Fire Company has joined numerous Fire Companies, Fire Service Organizations, and individuals in honoring the Fallen Firefighters of the United States.

The Springfield Fire Company purchased a Memorial Brick in the Walk of Honor at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial on the grounds of the National Fire Academy in Emmittsburg, Maryland.  The brick was purchased back in 1998 when the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation started the Walk of Honor Program.  The Walk of Honor Brick list can be viewed on their web site.

The National Fallen Firefighters Memorial is a lasting memory of all firefighters that gave the ultimate sacrifice in the Line of Duty and lists all firefighters from 1981 that have died in the Line of Duty.  Every October, at the beginning of Fire Prevention Week, the Fire Service and our Nation honors our fallen firefighters from the previous year with a ceremony and the unveiling of a plaque that bears the names of those Fallen in the Line of Duty for the previous calendar year.

Springfield Fire Company has never experienced a Line of Duty Death in the Company, something that we hope to continue forever.
