03 Oct National Fallen Firefighters Memorial 2021
MACOMB, IL — America’s fallen fire heroes, who died in the line of duty, will be honored at the 40th Annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend, October 2-3, 2021. The names of 215 firefighters will become a permanent part of the National Memorial in honor of their sacrifices.
Emmet – Chalmers Firefighters, along with firefighters across the country, will pay honor to the lives of 87 firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2020, 82 firefighters who died in 2019, and 46 firefighters who died in the line of duty in previous years.
On Sunday, October 3, at 9:00 am CDT, the fallen will be remembered in the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service. The Memorial Service will be available to watch on www.ecfpd.org (this page) and www.firehero.org.
We also invite you to take a moment to read the 2021 Roll of Honor, a collection of stories about fire heroes, as submitted by their families, friends and fellow firefighters. In learning more about our fallen heroes, we can begin to grasp the void their loss leaves in the lives of those they have left behind.
