Firefighter Memorial

We are very proud of those that have come before us to lead the way for the next generation of firefighters. This page was created to memoralize and honor those great firefighters that came before us. Thank you to all those that have given so much of themselves to help out the community, neighbors and strangers alike. Your dedication, service, love, empathy and compassion towards others, including family and personal sacrifices made to be there at a moments notice, no matter the time of day or night, will never be forgotten. Never forget the most simplistic of calls that may seem minor or small to a firefighter can be life altering to some and truly motivational to others.

     Thank you for all your sacrifices and for giving so much of yourselves to help others throughout your careers! 

Below you will find our retired firefighters that have served 5 years or greater

as well as members that have served their "Last Call".

Bell service (“Last Alarm” or "The Ringing of the Bell")

The fire service is full of traditions. The "Ringing of the Bell" goes back over 200yrs. In the past before electricity, fire pagers, and cell phones and all the other technology that exists today, when firefighters began their tour of duty, it was a bell that signaled the beginning and end of shift. And each alarm was sounded by a bell, which summoned firefighters to respond and to place their lives in harms way for the good of their community and fellow citizens. When the fire was out and the alarm had come to an end, it was the bell that signaled to everyone the completion of that call. When a firefighter had died in the line of duty, paying the supreme sacrifice, it was the mournful toll of the bell that solemnly announced a comrades passing. 

Today we utilize these traditions as symbols, which reflect honor and respect on those who have given so much and who have served so well. To symbolize the devotion that these brave souls had for their duty, a special signal of three rings, three times each, represents the end of our comrades' duties on earth and that they will be returning to quarters. And so, to those who have selflessly given their lives for the good of their fellow man, their tasks completed, their duties well done, to our comrades, their last alarm, they are going home.
