42nd Annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend – May 6-7, 2023
Each year, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) sponsors the official national tribute to all firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year. Thousands attend the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
On May 6 and 7, our nation will pause to honor 145 fallen firefighters at the 42nd National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend. We will remember 79 firefighters who died in 2022 and 65 who died in previous years.
The National Fallen Firefighters Candlelight Service will be on May 6 at 7:30 pm ET, and the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service will be on May 7 at 10:00 am ET. Both events are open to the public and will be live-streamed on the homepage of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s website (firehero.org), NFFF’s YouTube Channel, and NFFF’s Facebook page.
