The West Fargo Fire Department joins the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to Light the Night and honor fallen firefighters Oct. 2-9. During the week, the fire department’s stations will light up with red lights to recognize those firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty. Residents, businesses and organizations can join the official national tribute to fallen firefighters by lighting up their buildings during this week with red exterior lights. 

“We have an amazingly supportive community here in the West Fargo metro area,” said Fire Chief Dan Fuller. “We invite all residents to join us in honoring the firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Red bulbs are available at local hardware stores or can be purchased online using the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Amazon Associates link. Participants can register and submit photos of their red lights on the foundation’s website.
