Memorial

The Providence Association of Firemen launched a fund-raising and design competition for a permanent monument after the death of Firefighter McDonald in 1883. The monument serves to honor those Providence firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of their duty to ensure the safety of the community. The seven foot figure atop the monument is said to resemble the fallen McDonald. The monument is located at the North Burial Ground on North Main Street and was dedicated August 16, 1885.

Providence Fire Department Honor Guard

The Honor Guard is a ceremonial unit composed of men and women within the Department. They lead all members in uniformed formation who attend parades, promotions and funerals. They also respectfully stand guard one last time at wakes and funerals ensuring that all deceased members are dutifully honored for their service.

National Fallen Firefighters Memorial

Conceived as a tribute to America's fire service, the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial is one of this country's most beautiful monuments to courage and unselfish service. Constructed in 1981 on the campus of the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland, the Memorial was officially designated by Congress as the national Memorial to career and volunteer fallen firefighters in 1990. It is a symbol of honor for those who carry on the tradition of service to their communities.
