We invite you to light up red on April 26 - May 3, 2026 to honor the fallen and their families.

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation launched Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters in 2017 to commemorate the Foundation’s 25th anniversary. Held annually during the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend, this tribute has grown to include fire departments, families, and communities across the country lighting their homes and buildings in red to honor fallen firefighters.

We invite you to join us by lighting your home, fire department, or community building in red during Memorial Weekend as a symbol of support and remembrance.

As dusk turns to dark, landmarks, homes, fire service organizations, and businesses across the country will again glow in respect from April 26 - May 3, 2026...
