Following a tumultuous 2020, fire service members stepped up and answered the call, once again. During 2021, the fire service scaled-up vaccination clinics, responded to many weather-related emergencies and battled raging wildfires, all while keeping the needs of their communities at the forefront.

We honor those who lost their lives while pursuing these valiant efforts. To the families, friends and colleagues of the fallen, we are heartbroken with you.

This video is in honor of the memory of these dedicated fire professionals.
