We invite you to pause with us as we honor the lives and legacies of 140 fallen firefighters during the 44th National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend, on May 3–4, 2025. This year, we pay tribute to 70 firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2024, along with 70 firefighters who died in previous years.
Mark your calendars for two powerful ceremonies:
National Fallen Firefighters Candlelight Service
Saturday, May 3, 2025
7:30 pm ET
National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service
Sunday, May 4, 2025
10:00 am ET
Both events are open to the public and will be held at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Can’t attend in person? You can still be part of this moving tribute—both services will be live-streamed at weekend.firehero.org, on the NFFF YouTube Channel, and on our Facebook page.
