Colorado Springs Honors Fallen Firefighters

Barry Bennett. Richard Halvorsen. Ricky Blodgett. Although they never lived here, their names — along with 103 others — are part of Colorado Springs. Etched in a shiny black granite “Wall of Honor,” the firefighters’ names join the names of 1,686 firefighters killed in the line of duty since 1978.
