WHFD Marks Annual 2024 Firemen’s Memorial

On Sunday, our members gathered on the West Haven Green for our annual Firemen’s Memorial. A time honored tradition in the Center District, this yearly event remembers those who came before us and have sadly since died. Through this annual event, we make sure to always remember them, their families, and the dedicated service they provided for our district and our city. As the ceremony neared its conclusion, a wreath was laid and one by one, members saluted. This year’s ceremony was dedicated to retired Deputy Chief John Patry, who died in 2019 and of whom served our department faithfully and with distinction for 30 years.
