EMMITSBURG, MD – The U.S. Fire Service will honor a firefighter, who died in the line of duty, from Florida during the 37th National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service on Sunday, October 7, 2018. He is among the 80 firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2017 and 23 firefighters who died in previous years who will be remembered at the official national service at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
