Join the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation on May 4-7, 2023 in honoring and remembering the sacrifice of America’s fallen fire heroes.
As in years past, we are asking landmarks, buildings, families, and fire departments across the country to participate in “Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters.”
This national event, which has been held every October in the past, has been moved to May to coincide with another national event that has been moved to May.
National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend—the official national tribute to those firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year—will be held May 6 and 7.
This will be the first time the Memorial Weekend is being held in May rather than October, as it has been for decades. This change was made because of the frequent uncertainties of October weather along with potential federal government shutdowns, which could impact the ability to access the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Park.
