The Fallen

Help us remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice

Every wildland firefighter who has passed away leaves behind a legacy of courage, dedication, and sacrifice. This page is dedicated to honoring those who gave their lives in the line of duty, as well as those whose lives ended too soon outside of the flames.
Here, we remember not only their service but also the people they were—their laughter, their stories, and the love they shared with family and friends.
Their work in protecting our wildlands and communities is a testament to their strength and selflessness. While we mourn their loss, we also celebrate their lives, ensuring their memories endure and their sacrifices are never forgotten.
As you scroll through these images, know that each face represents a story of valor and a legacy of devotion to others.
