Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters is May 3, 2025

January 28, 2025

Release from the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation

This May, you're invited to honor our fallen fire service heroes during the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend, the official national tribute to firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty last year.

As part of this heartfelt commemoration, we invite landmarks, buildings, fire departments, and communities across the country to participate in "Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters." Your participation would be a powerful symbol of support and comfort to the families of the fallen.

Some of the most iconic landmarks—including One World Trade Center in New York City, the Wrigley Building in Chicago, and the Reunion Tower in Dallas—have joined us in lighting their structures in red as a tribute.

The Memorial Weekend will include a Candlelight Service on Saturday, May 3, 2025, followed by the Memorial Service on May 4, 2025. Lighting your Memorial in red on May 3, 2025, or any time between April 28 and May 4, 2025, would add to this extraordinary display of respect for our fallen heroes and support for their surviving families from your state and across the nation

If you would like to join us in honoring these heroes, please contact Donna Clark at [email protected] to confirm your participation.
