National Fallen Firefighters Memorial
National Fallen Firefighters Memorial, National memorial in Emmitsburg, United States.
The memorial features a circular plaza with bronze statues and granite walls displaying names of firefighters who died while performing their duties.
Congress designated this site as the official National Memorial in 1990, establishing a permanent tribute to fallen firefighters across the United States.
Each year during Memorial Weekend in May, families gather for candlelight services to honor newly added names to the memorial walls.
The memorial park remains accessible to visitors daily from sunrise to sunset, with security screening required at Building V1 parking area.
The Walk of Honor contains individually inscribed bricks commemorating every firefighter who died in service before 1981 from each state.
