SUMMARY : Proclaims October 5, 2013, as California Firefighters
Memorial Day. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1)The California Firefighters Memorial, located on the grounds
of the State Capitol, serves to honor and commemorate
California firefighters who unwaveringly serve our great state
with pride, courage, and honor.
2)The California Firefighters Memorial is also a symbol of
gratitude and appreciation to the men and women of the fire
service who put their lives on the line each day to protect
the people, property, and beauty of California.
3)Many of the 1,200 fallen firefighters whose names adorn the
California Firefighters Memorial suffered and ultimately
succumbed to diseases, such as cancer, as a result of the
hazardous nature of their work, including routine exposure to
toxic chemicals.
4)On October 5, 2013, firefighters and their families from
throughout the state will gather in Sacramento with their
fellow Californians for the California Firefighters Memorial
Ceremony 2013 to honor the men and women of the fire service
who have given their lives to protect California.
