Fire Fighters Memorial Foundation of Missouri
The Fire Fighters Memorial is located in Kingdom City, Missouri and is dedicated to and honors those who have fallen in the line of duty. There are many who are recognized on the Wall of Honor and this beautiful site shows our gratitude to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. For more information about Line of Duty and Distinguished Service additions to the wall, visit the memorial and musem website..
Our Efforts to Complete the Memorial Continues
Although the Memorial is in use, funds are still being collected to pay for and maintain the site. The Fire Fighters Memorial Foundation of Missouri is also calling on the Missouri Fire Service to help in the effort to construct the Educational and Historical Preservation Center alongside the Memorial.

Missouri Fire Service Funeral Assistance Team
When a line of duty death occurs, and on request of the agency sustaining the loss, the team would be deployed immediately. The team serves in a behind the scene capacity and offers suggestions based on what the department needs are, as well as, the needs of the firefighter family. Team members have a timeline of things that need to be done within hours of the tragedy to ensure the ability to maximize benefits and assist the agency with some of the necessary legalities that occur with a line of duty death. The team stays in place at the agency, sometimes for several days, usually until the funeral services are completed. The duties of the team do not end there, they provide information to the department on an as-needed basis to assist the family and department beyond the funeral services.
