Firefighter's are many times the unsung hero's of our country. They come from all walks of life and daily risk their lives for their fellow man. The Volunteer Firefighter is even more remarkable. They not only risk their lives for the fellow man, but do so voluntarily!
The below listing is of my brother and sister Delaware Firefighters who have had an online memorial created for them using the "Find A Grave" system in their memory. This list is in no way complete ... and will continue as other firefighters pass away. Every fire company in Delaware will be included. As part of this system you can add your own personal memorial notes and virtual flowers in honor of that member if you'd like too.
Anyone that knows where a volunteer firefighter is interred for which I don't have a record please feel free to send me their information (name and dates) and I'll be more than glad to create an online memorial for them as well. My email address is "russ@cheswoldvfc.com".
You can view their individual online memorials by clicking on their "Names". If you click on the "Cemetery Name" you will be taken to the homepage of that cemetery where you can list all those with a online memorial created in that cemetery, search for a specific name, or even add a memorial for someone you know.
