| | | | | | | Today is National Wildland Firefighter Day. Did you know that there is a Wildland Firefighters Monument? Located at the National Interagency Fire Center headquarters in Boise, ID, the monument features three 8-foot-tall bronze statues representing the distinct responsibilities and characteristics of firefighters and pays tribute to all those who work on the fireline. More than 325 plaques in the monument pay tribute to fallen wildland firefighters. The monument was conceived after the tragic 1994 South Canyon Fire in western Colorado that killed 14 firefighters.
