OUR VISION FOR THE FALLEN
For years PFFN has dreamed of building a new memorial fit to Honor our
fallen brothers and sisters. We want to create a place of reverence for the
families and community to come and not only remember the fallen heroes,
but also celebrate their legacy and discover another side of the fire service
they may not know existed.
So we began a campaign to raise money dedicated to creating a piece
worthy of the fallen, and commissioned renowned sculptor and fellow
firefighter and EMT, Austin Weishel, to bring the memorial to life.
"It's important for us as firefighters to have a place to come and
recognize them, but to also enable generations of families, who
may not have known their grandmother, their grandfather, their
brother, their cousin, to come and learn about their sacrifice."
