Please come be a part of honoring those who have given all
Come Join us for the 2012 Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service
Saturday May 12, 2012
Please help us to make this better than it was last year, mark your calendars and please plan on attending.
This year we will be remembering all of our fallen firefighters. In the last ten years Colorado has averaged 2.5 Line of Duty Deaths per year, the national average is just over 100. Join us in honoring all of our fallen Firefighters and their families with the love and respect they all deserve for their gift of the ultimate sacrifice.
All fire service personnel are encouraged to attend in dress uniforms to help us fill the "sea-of-blue" to capacity. All fire departments are encouraged as well to send apparatus to participate in the procession that precedes the service. Please help us fill both of these to capacity in honor of our fallen brothers.
If your department plans to send an apparatus for the procession please contact Rachael Nelson at

If you do not plan to bring any apparatus but will attend the memorial service please be at the Lakewood City Center, 480 S. Allison Pkwy, by 10:00 hours. If you have any questions regarding the memorial service please contact Rachael Nelson at

The Colorado Fallen Firefighter Resource Team was established in June 2007. The Team is a part of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Line-of-Duty-Death State Response Team Program.
The team will respond to all Colorado Line-of-Duty-Deaths (LODD) in which our assistance is requested.
Our goal is to be on scene within six hours of activation from either the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation (NFFF), or the chief of the department where the LODD has taken place. The team will work with the family and the fire department from behind the scenes to honor the Fallen according to the family's wishes. When a firefighter is killed in the line of duty, The Team is available to offer assistance as needed. We are also available to help in filing the Public Service Officers Benefits ( PSOB)
