Five of our firefighters were honored at the Washington State Fallen Firefighters Memorial on Monday, June 4, in Olympia – surrounded by family, friends, coworkers and loved ones. On June 2, at Seattle Fire Department’s Headquarters, the memorial ribbons for our five fallen firefighters were transferred from their family to the IAFF District 7 Motorcycle Group for their trip to Olympia. The ribbons were kept at the firefighter’s previous stations.
We honor them for their heroism. Each of these firefighters are deeply missed by the department and community.
