In preparation for the dedication ceremony on Sept. 30, 2012, the Minnesota Fire Service Foundation is in the process of verifying the list of the state’s line-of-duty deaths. To ensure that the most up-to-date information is included in the memorial, fire officials are asking anyone with a connection to a Minnesota firefighter who died in the line of duty to confirm that his or her information is accurate by reviewing it prior to May 30.
