From the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District will hold a public ceremony on Sunday, July 21 at 9:30 a.m. to remember and honor all of those of our Fire District family lost in the line of duty that are commemorated on the memorial wall at the Training Division at 2945 Treat Boulevard in Concord.
The memorial wall contains the names of 16 firefighters lost in the line of duty in the Fire District since 1969. Those individuals identified on our memorial wall were committed to serving our citizens unselfishly and ultimately they gave their lives to the pursuit of public safety for their community.
The ceremony will include several speakers, the Contra Costa County Professional Firefighters Local 1230 Honor Guard, as well as access to the memorial rose garden at the facility.
The event is open to members of the public. Members of the Fire District senior staff will be available for media interviews following the ceremony.
