Memorial Construction Update
Construction on the Los Angeles Fire Department Fallen Firefighter Memorial continues. Steel has been laid on the plaza in front of old Fire Station 27 in preparation for concrete pouring that will take place during the coming week. Even without the concrete in place, it's exciting to see the clean, elegant space beginning to take shape.
Here is another view of the plaza, prior to concrete being poured. It will take several days to completely cover the plaza.
In addition to the concrete phase, designer Yoshikawa (with some help) installed the tempered glass with the beautiful etched badge into the arched section of the monument.
A further update will be made available in the coming week. For information on the memorial, or to donate in support of completion, please contact Director of Operations Frank W. Borden, LAFD A.C. DIV 1 RET. at (323) 464-2727.
