The largest firefighters’ union in the U.S. and Canada held an emotional, impactful ceremony virtually Saturday to honor more than 200 firefighters across the nation who lost their lives in the line of duty. Four of those firefighters were Arizonans who died from cancer. The look of this year's event was different, but the meaning was the same. The International Association of Firefighters' annual Fallen Firefighter Memorial Remembrance was held virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions this year. The ceremony honored members who died protecting their communities. This year, four Arizona names are among the 245 firefighters and emergency medical personnel who died in the line of duty. They were etched onto the Wall of Honor at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs.
