“DC Firefighters Memorial Helmet Project” Honoring DC Fire and EMS Lives Lost

Thanks to G. for sending: “This is new. At the entrance to the alley next to old H Street Country Club.”

From the DC Fire & EMS Foundation:

“The DC Fire & EMS Department has lost 102 firefighters in the line of duty since 1856. There is currently no memorial in the District of Columbia honoring these firefighters’ ultimate sacrifice. The DC Firefighters Memorial Helmet Project memorializes every DC firefighter who died in the line of duty with the installation of memorial helmets and plaques on streetlights at the locations of their ultimate sacrifice. You can read their stories here.
