Fall River, Ma. On Sunday, June 14th. Firefighters and their families gathered at the Firefighters Memorial in the south end of the city to honor the memory of our fallen brothers. The day began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a prayer from the Fire Department Chaplin. A ceremonial bell was tolled for the fallen Firefighters and the recently departed members. The flag was then lowered to Half-staff followed by the reading of the Firefighters Prayer.
