By MC. Millman

In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend, the County of Rockland’s Allison-Parris County Office Building on New Hempstead Road in New City, and the Rockland County Fire and Emergency Services building in Pomona will be lit in red through May 5th.

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation created Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters to recognize the 25th anniversary of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend. Since its creation, Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters has expanded to include fire departments, landmarks, organizations, businesses, and families lighting their homes in red all across the country from dusk to dawn on May 1 through May 5 to show honor to the fallen firefighters and their families.
