IAFF Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial

The IAFF Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial is a special place where we remember and honor all the brave firefighters who have lost their lives serving and protecting our communities. It's a big statue of a pretty lady wearing a firefighter's helmet and holding a baby in her arms. She represents the mothers and children who have lost their loved ones in the line of duty.

The statue is surrounded by walls made of special stones. These stones have the names of every single firefighter who has died while doing their very important job. There are also big plaques with pictures and stories of some of these firefighters. This helps people learn about and remember these brave heroes who sacrificed their lives to keep us safe.

People go to the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial to pay their respects and say thank you to these brave firefighters. It's a special place where families, friends, and anyone who wants to remember these heroes can visit and think about how important firefighters are to our communities.
