This page is solely
dedicated to our fallen brothers. From an everyday medical call, to
a fully involved blazing house fire, you can always count on firefighters
to take care of the job. Whether we are on a paid fire department,
or a volunteer fire department, we will always be there to take care
of business.
In the course of firefighting, no matter how many safety protocols
are utilized, no matter how many precautions are taken, there are
always strong possibilities for unavoidable dangers, and within those
dangers, sometimes come fatalities. It is a dangerous job that could
cost a firefighter his life, but saving others is why we do it.
This creates a bond like no other. It 's a brotherhood, it's what
a firefighter is. It extends beyond city and state lines. Its a national
deal. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you are from, you ARE
a firefighter. You can go any place in the country, into to any firehouse,
or just run across another firefighter - and you are family. Saying
goodbye to a fellow firefighter is just as much a part of the job,
as going on a fire call.
We remember these firefighters below.
