Every June, the Oregon Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial Ceremony recognizes all of the Oregon firefighters who have died in the line of duty. The memorial is located at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem, Oregon.
To date, 179 line-of-duty deaths since 1881 have been approved for the memorial wall. The submissions include every aspect of the fire service including career, volunteer, wildland, and structural fire fighters; chief officers, company officers, engineers, and fire fighters.
The construction of the memorial was completed and dedicated on September 9, 2006. The Oregon Fire Service Honor Guard has volunteered to serve as the conduit for the annual memorial ceremony, held annually in June.
