Apple Valley Firefighters Tribute and Memorial
The Apple Valley Firefighters Tribute and Memorial is at the Lebanon Cemetery located at County
Road 42 and Pilot Knob Road. The Memorial was dedicated in 2006 to honor the Apple Valley
Firefighters and is surrounded by a walkway which signifies the Community. Paver bricks purchased
by the Community supported the construction of the Memorial just as the Community supports the
Apple Valley Fire Department (AVFD) with fire stations, trucks, equipment, and financial support.
Each monolith will have space for 280 names (to be engraved on two sides) for a total of 1,120 names. When a firefighter earns his or her badge, which takes one to two years, the firefighter’s name will be engraved. To date, there are 270 names to be engraved. It will take approximately 160 years until the memorial is full.
Below are pictures of the memorial.
