Memorial Service Thursday...
On Thursday, October 5th, the Los Angeles Fire Department will gather to remember those firefighters who lost their lives protecting the citizens of Los Angeles. The event takes place at 10:00AM, just outside the LAFD Museum & Memorial in Hollywood.
"These events are moving and uplifting, both," said LAFD Museum supporter David Barrett. "While any memorial service is a somber activity, this is really a bit different. This is a remembrance and celebration of those firefighters who gave their lives so that others might live." Presentations by Fire Chief William Bamattre, local council persons, directors of UFLAC, and the Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Society are a tradition. Each year, family members of fallen firefighters journey to Hollywood for the occasion and are joined by a wide range of active duty LAFD members.
The public may attend and there is ample parking across the street from the memorial plaza. For additional information, you may contact the museum at (323) 464 - 2727.
