Navigating Fire Service Funerals
Firefighting continues to be one of the nation’s most hazardous professions. According to the United States Fire Administration, about 100 firefighters die in the line of duty each year in the U.S. It is only fitting, given the heroic efforts of fire service personnel, both paid and volunteer, that they be given the final respect they deserve. This webinar explains the steps needed to plan and carry out a fire service funeral.
