The North Greece Fire Department (NGFD) held a groundbreaking ceremony for its first Responder Memorial on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at 11 AM at NGFD Station One, located at 645 North Greece Road.
The First responder memorial is dedicated to the bravery and sacrifice of first responders. This memorial will serve as a lasting tribute to those who have risked their lives in service to our community.
In addition to honoring first responders the memorial site will serve as a venue for community events hosted by the fire department. It will be a place for the community to gather, reflect, and show appreciation for the heroes who serve us daily.
A unique feature of the memorial is the walkway leading to it, which will be paved with personalized bricks donated by members of the community. These bricks offer individuals, families, and businesses the opportunity to leave a lasting mark and become a part of our history.
“We are incredibly proud to break ground on this memorial, which will stand as a testament to the courage and dedication of all first responders,” said project chair Al Camp, a 21 year member of the department and past Department president and District commissioner. “This memorial will not only honor those who serve but also strengthen the bond between the fire department and the community we protect.”
