In 1985, the Washington State Fire Fighters’ Association (WSFFA) established the Washington State Fallen Firefighter Memorial Service.  A bronzed maltase cross affixed to a granite cairn denotes the Memorial, located at the FTA in North Bend, Washington.  Over the years, the WSFFA, WSCFF, WFC, WFCA, and other prominent state fire service organizations have joined together annually to recognize firefighters who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.
