The
annual Bucks County Fallen Firefighters memorial
service was held at the Bucks County Courthouse in
Doylestown on October 6, 2007. Firefighters from all
over the county came to pay respects to the
firefighters and fire police officers who are
remembered on the monument in the courtyard. Ladder
79 made an arch over Main Street at Court with
Ladder 29. The color guards from Doylestown and
Plumsteadville lead the procession of firefighters
up Main Street to the service. Speakers, who
included the Bucks County Commissioner Jim Cawley,
U. S. Representative Patrick Murphy and Midway Fire
Police Captain John Reinhardt. The names of all
Pennsylvania Firefighters who lost their lives in
the line of duty in 2006 were read, and a bell
sounded in their memory. After the ceremony,
families of the fallen placed carnations at the base
of the memorial. Photos by Larry Browne
