'Code 3 for a Cure' Returns from Nationwide Mission

The Los Angeles Fire Department is honored to welcome the 2011 'Code 3 for a Cure', as they return from their mission of honor and hope across America remembering those firefighters who have succumbed to cancer and paved the way for better safety equipment and safety procedures used by today’s firefighters.

This Foundation has travelled across the country stopping at various fire departments, collecting the names of fallen firefighters who have died from cancer.  Those names will be read at this ceremony honoring our fallen brothers and sisters, and a fire bell mounted on the fire engine will toll for each name read.

Take just one hour and join the LAFD in honoring those Firefighters who paid the ultimate sacrifice, and help others in need.
