Roll of Honor
The Greater Cincinnati Firefighters Memorial Park
The Greater Cincinnati Firefighters Memorial Park is designed to honor all the men and women who have served the community in the role of Firefighter. The memorial does not officially recognize any individual names as its original concept was to provide a place to reflect on all the sacrifices made, not just those that resulted in death.
You can visit the memorial at 537 Central Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45202.
The Cincinnati Fire Museum Roll of Honor

We will never forget those lost in service, please help us to honor our fallen heroes.
