Apple Valley FD Firefighters Tribute and Memorial

The Apple Valley Firefighters Tribute and Memorial is at the Lebanon Cemetery located at County Road 42 and Pilot Knob Road. The Memorial was dedicated in 2006 to honor the Apple Valley Firefighters and is surrounded by a walkway which signifies the Community. Paver bricks purchased by the Community supported the construction of the Memorial just as the Community supports the Apple Valley Fire Department (AVFD) with fire stations, trucks, equipment, and financial support.

Each monolith will have space for 280 names (to be engraved on two sides) for a total of 1,120 names. When a firefighter earns his or her badge, which takes one to two years, the firefighter’s name will be engraved. To date, there are 270 names to be engraved. It will take approximately 160 years until the memorial is full.

Below are pictures of the memorial.
