(Greenfield, MA) On Sunday, October 4 the Greenfield Fire Department, along with other fire departments across the United States, paused to remember fallen firefighters. To honor fallen firefighters who died in the line of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice, a series of bells rang as a symbol of a tradition of using bells to alert of a firefighter paying the ultimate sacrifice. A total of 86 firefighters who have been lost across the United States were honored. To view a video of the ceremony click here. To learn more about the memorial weekend click here.
