The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) hosts a special weekend each year to remember those who have died in the line of duty. Families, friends and colleagues gathered in Emmitsburg, Maryland, in October 2012 to honor their loved ones at the NFFF Memorial Weekend. See their stories unfold in this video.

For more than 70 years, Motorola Solutions has been a proud supplier and supporter of the American fire service, providing mission-critical communications for our nation's first responders. As part of our commitment to helping the men and women of the fire service, the Motorola Solutions Foundation honored the nation’s firefighters and their families by granting $1 million to the NFFF. Motorola Solutions Foundation is privileged to team with the NFFF to not only assist the survivors of our fallen fire service heroes, but also make sure firefighters have the education necessary to stay safe and effective in their jobs.
