Here's a couple of pics of the Fallen Firefighter Memorial. It is located on the Boise Greenbelt along the river, and next to the Boise Fire Department's training tower. It is an amazing memorial. You can not see it in the top picture, but behind the statue, the middle "wall" has every Idaho Firefighter who has paid the ultimate sacrifice listed. The bottom pic shows an aerial view of the memorial, and you can see that it is a Maltese Cross, the historic symbol of Firefighters. If you'd like to help donate to the memorial itself, you can buy a brick and have anything you want inscribed on the brick and placed in the ground for all time.
The Fallen Firefighter Foundation is a non profit organization that provides a variety of services for families of firefighters killed in the line of duty as well as assisting firefighters throughout the state in the area of safety training.
