Thank you, Governor Mike Braun, for recognizing May 3rd as National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Day here in Indiana.

This proclamation is more than words—it is a powerful reminder that the sacrifices made by our nation’s firefighters are never forgotten. This year, we honor 204 fallen firefighters who gave their lives in service to others. Their courage, selflessness, and unwavering commitment to their communities will forever define the very best of the fire service.

At the 2026 Congressional Flag Ceremony, 204 American flags—each flown over the U.S. Capitol—were presented to the NFFF in honor of fallen firefighters.
Each flag represents a life given in service to others: 97 who died in 2025, and 107 from previous years now added to the Roll of Honor.
These flags will be flown at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial and later presented to our families, serving as quiet and enduring symbols of sacrifice.
We pause to remember their sacrifice, and we stand with those they left behind.

In Loving Memory of our brother:
Gone but never Forgotten:

April 5, 2025 - LODD
Firefighter/EMT Roy A. Smith, 60
Posey Township Clay County Volunteer Fire Department. Staunton, IN
Shortly after midnight the Posey Township Clay County Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to motorists (including two children) who became stranded in high water due to heavy storms. While responding to the call in his personal vehicle, Firefighter/EMT Smith lost control of the vehicle on the slippery roadway. The vehicle left the road and struck a tree. Fire and rescue personnel found Firefighter/EMT Smith pinned in the vehicle and extricated him from the wreckage. They administered life saving measures to Firefighter/EMT Smith at the scene and during transport to a local hospital. Despite these efforts, Firefighter/EMT Smith passed away shortly after arriving at the hospital.
