The Town of Irondequoit
Emergency Services Annual Memorial Service

Once a year, around Memorial Day, the Irondequoit Fire Departments join together to honor their fallen brethren. The five departments take turns hosting this service on a rotating basis. When it's their turn to host, the department chooses a place of worship within their district where all gather together to remember those friends we have lost in the past year. After the service, a small luncheon is provided where department members can reunite & catch up with fellow firefighters that we may not have a chance to see on a regular basis.

A New Tradition Begins

In 2002, the fire departments in the Town of Irondequoit celebrated the 50th anniversary of this Memorial Service. As we begin our next 50-plus years, these departments have asked the Irondequoit Police Department & Irondequoit Volunteer Ambulance to join us every year as we become one family in celebrating the lives of all of our lost members.

The Irondequoit Fire Departments, IPD & IVA work together on a daily basis to help protect the lives & property of Irondequoit's residents. We feel honored to gather together, as Brothers & Sisters of the Town of Irondequoit, and remember, mourn & celebrate the lives of all of our friends who have given of themselves to the family that is Irondequoit's Emergency Services.
