The Palm Beach County community is invited to support the current effort to place a Fallen Firefighter statue at Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue Headquarters.
The Retired Firefighters of Palm Beach County and Local 2928 have been approved by Art in Public Places to donate a Fallen Firefighter statue to Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue.
Utilizing donated funds, the agencies have commissioned a bronze artist to design and install the Fallen Firefighter statue in the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Park at Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue Headquarters by the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025.
The Retired Firefighters of Palm Beach County and Local 2928 acknowledge the dangers of firefighting and the increasing rates that active and retired firefighters are passing away from occupational illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer.
The purchase of a Fallen Firefighter statue placed in the Memorial Park will serve as a centerpiece to the fallen firefighter families, fire service members and the community to recognize the dangers of firefighting, strive for health and wellness, prevention, and reinforce an oath to “never forget.” The Retired Firefighters of Palm Beach County is a nonprofit organization accepting donations for this project at www.ffmemorial.com.
