Line of Duty Deaths

Remembering The Fallen

Congress created the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to lead a nationwide effort to honor America’s fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the nonprofit Foundation has developed and expanded programs to honor and remember fallen fire heroes, support their families, and work within the fire service community to reduce firefighter deaths and injuries.
