Canadian Firefighters Memorial Ceremony - 2013 - part 3

With the firefighters on the field, the bands staged and the helmets placed it's time to get things underway with singing O Canada.



























This medallion in its presentation case is presented to each of the families of a firefighter killed in the line of duty in the previous year. The name of the firefighter is engraved on the back of the medallion.

This year, 2013, there were nine families of firefighters being honoured and receiving a medallion, the eight here and the one shown in the previous photograph.








In the Canadain Armed Forces, firefighting is a trade of the Air Force. Aboard the Navy's ships and in Army bases the firefighters posted there are Air Force personnel.
