This year due to COVID-19, on Sunday, Sept. 27, the Minnesota Fallen Firefighter Memorial Service will shift to a virtual event.
The shortened ceremony, to be broadcast from the Minnesota Fallen Firefighter Memorial at the State Capitol at 1 p.m. on Sept. 27, is scheduled to include a wreath laying by the president of the Minnesota Fire Service Foundation, reading of the honor roll, comments from Commissioner of Public Safety John Harrington, bag pipes and a bell ceremony.
While there will be a limited number of people on site, families of firefighters who died in the line of duty, firefighters from around the state, community leaders and the public are encouraged to join the ceremony online at facebook.com/MinnesotaFireServiceFoundation/.
