Bronze plaques containing their names will be added to the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial, located on the academy campus. The plaques surrounding the Memorial, which was established in 1981, list the names of more than 3,600 firefighters. The national tribute is sponsored by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) and the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Fire Administration.
"Without hesitation, firefighters face tremendous risks every day to help their communities," said Chief Dennis Compton, Chairman of the Board of the NFFF. "Each October, we gather to reflect on the sacrifices of those who died in the line of duty and to let their families, friends and co-workers know they will never be forgotten."
