<strong>2017</strong> FIREFIGHTER<br />
MEMORIAL<br />
Local 5124 will be attending the 31st annual<br />
IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial service on<br />
September 16, <strong>2017</strong> in Colorado Springs,<br />
CO. Among IAFF<br />
brothers, family<br />
members and loved<br />
ones, Local 5124 will be<br />
experiencing the<br />
emotional remembrance<br />
and dedication ceremony<br />
of fellow IAFF brothers<br />
which have been lost in<br />
the line of duty.<br />
Constructed in 1989, the<br />
park serves as a<br />
memorial for the men and<br />
women of the IAFF who<br />
have given the ultimate sacrifice - protecting<br />
those they serve. Recently renovated,<br />
2014-2015, the memorial has (unfortunately)<br />
expanded to accomodate the names of the<br />
professional firefighters and emergency<br />
medical personnel who have been killed in the<br />
line of duty.<br />
fighters and paramedics who have given their<br />
lives in the line of duty during the previous<br />
year.<br />
