Rhode Island was one of only and handful of states left without a Memorial to honor Firefighters who sacrificed theirs lives in the line of duty. On October 26th, a ceremony was held, at the Rhode Island Fire Academy in Exeter, to celebrate the new Firefighters Memorial. This project was spearheaded by the RI Association of Fire Chiefs in collaboration with the RI State Association of Firefighters, State of RI, and the Fire Academy and many other local organizations.
