In Memoriam
Honoring Those Who Gave Everything
At Spokane County Fire District 9, remembrance is woven into the fabric of our service. The Memorial Garden stands as a place of reverence and reflection—a tribute to the firefighters and public servants who dedicated their lives to protecting this community.
Etched into stone are the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those whose service left a lasting legacy. This space is more than a monument—it is a solemn reminder that behind every badge is a life of courage, commitment, and selflessness.
We honor their memory, carry their stories forward, and remain steadfast in our duty to serve in their name.
