California Firefighters Memorial Ceremony and Tribute Saturday, October 5, 2013. [INFORMATION] #CaFire


This year, we commemorate the sacrifice of hundreds of California firefighters which are remembered on the brushed limestone walls of the California Firefighters Memorial at the State Capitol in Sacramento. This beautiful tribute, embodying over 10 years of work by California Professional Firefighters, depicts both the heroism of the profession and the anguish felt when a firefighter falls in the line of duty.
