The Alabama Fire College is
proud to be the home of the Alabama Firefighter Memorial.
The Alabama Joint Fire Council, made up of representatives
from the Alabama Association of Fire Chiefs, the Alabama
Firefighters Association, the Alabama Association of
Volunteer Fire Departments and the Professional Fire
Fighters Association of Alabama unanimously agreed that a
monument should be erected to serve as the official memorial
to honor fire fighters of Alabama who have given their lives
in the Line-of-Duty and to pay tribute to those fire
fighters who heroically serve with pride, courage and honor.
Afterwards, on June 11, 2003, The House and Senate of the
Alabama Legislature passed a joint resolution designating
the Alabama Firefighter Memorial as the official fire
fighters memorial for the State of Alabama. On October 19th,
2004 this dream became a reality. The first Annual Fallen
Firefighter memorial took place.
The memorial serves as a symbol of gratitude to the men and
women of the fire service who risk their lives every day to
protect the people of Alabama. |
