Copyright © 2020 Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The memorial was constructed in 1981 on the campus of the National Fire Academy. In the shadow of Colorado’s majestic Pikes Peak, the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial honors those we have lost in the line of duty since 1918. The ringing of the bell and the Firefighter's Prayer are two traditions of the fire service which reflect respect and honour to those who gave their lives to their duty. In the past each alarm was sounded by a bell, which summoned these brave souls to fight fires and to place their lives in jeopardy for the good of their fellow citizens. The CFFF is a registered charity and operates by fundraising. While we are disappointed to postpone the 2020 National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend events, it is important to know that the nation’s fallen firefighters will not be forgotten. Honouring the Fallen.
In the memorial ceremony much attention is focused on the red ceremonial table, which holds the helmets representing each of the fallen being honoured. Outrage after vandals cut down flagpole at NY 9/11 memorial for fallen firefighters. These helmets, whether black for structural, yellow for wildland firefighters or caps for wildland pilots, are presented to the families of the fallen during the ceremony. National Fallen Firefighters Memorial since 1990 is officially designated by the United States Congress as the National Memorial to career and volunteer fallen firefighters.
