The Wyoming Fallen Firefighter Memorial, located in Riverton, Wyoming, was proposed to state associations after the heavy fire seasons of 1987 and 1988; when many firefighters lost their lives.
The memorial is the creation of many Wyoming Firefighters with many firefighters donating time to construct the memorial. The rocks used in the construction are from 23 counties, all BLM Districts, all National Forests, the Wind River Indian Reservation, and both National Parks in Wyoming.
