Summary
Twenty-five years after 9/11 claimed 343 firefighter lives, the job is deadlier than ever—Edmonton’s annual memorial honors 74 fallen heroes, 63 of them since 2002, including 6 in just the last year.

With evolving dangers and rising casualties, community support is more vital than ever to ensure firefighters retire healthy and remembered.
