City of Huntington Fire Department
Huntington, West
Virginia.
The
City of Huntington Fire Department is proud to deliver top quality professional
fire and emergency services for over 100 years. The department is not only
a collection of buildings and vehicles designed to respond to emergencies
but it is dedicated men and women whom each citizen, worker and visitor
woes a debt of gratitude. They are the wall that stands everyday between
harm and safety. This web page is dedicated to them and nine of the city's
bravest who died in the line of duty. A memorial stands on the front lawn
of Centennial Fire Station No.1, in the City. The following are the names
of the nine fire fighters and fire officers who died in the line of duty.
"Thank you from a grateful
city."
