A special ceremony was held Saturday to honor the lives of Fort Worth firefighters who died in the line of duty.
The ceremony Saturday also honored the lives of all Fort Worth firefighters who have lost their lives. It is held on February 25 every year, because that is the date of Fort Worth’s first line of duty death in 1902.
“There’s young children here who don’t have a father now, or don’t have a father with them. There are wives that are having to figure out what it’s like to do life on their own without their loved one. This is about honoring the sacrifice those firefighters have made over the years,” Glynn said. “It’s a horrible fraternity and sorority to be a part of, but they do it. They don’t have a choice.”
