On Tuesday June 14, 2016 the Westport Fire Department hosted the 33rd annual Bridgeport Area Retired Firefighters Memorial Service at the Church of the Assumption at 7:00 pm. The event is preceded by a short parade (kicking off at 6:45 pm from the Saugatuck School) which is led by the Connecticut Firefighters Pipes and drums and followed by the area fire departments and their retirees. This event recognizes those members who have given the “ultimate sacrifice” having died in the line of duty and also remembering those members who have passed away during the past year.
