The
Memorial:
In
1981, a state commission selected the New Jersey Fire Museum at Allaire as the
location for a permanent Fallen Firefighter Memorial but the legislature did
not provide construction funds. The
Board Of Directors of the Fire Museum has included the memorial in our Phase
One construction fund drive. The
memorial will be located on the fire museum's main entrance plaza.
Primary Features:
The memorial will consist of two primary features: The circular design will have spaces for
four engraved panels depicting firefighting of the past, present and
future. Flanking these engraved panels
will be stone work engraved with the names, date of loss, and hometown of
fallen New Jersey firefighters.
Location:
The memorial will be located on Atlantic Avenue, Route 524, Wall Township,
across the street from Allaire State Park in Monmouth County. This location is central to the state and
easily accessible from Exit 98 of the Garden State Parkway or Exit 34B of
I-195. Allaire State Park is best
known for historic Allaire Village and the Pine Creek narrow gauge operating
railroad. The immediate area includes
the Jersey Shore oceanfront providing a variety of year round recreational
activities enjoyed by groups of all ages.
Construction and opening date are dependent upon fund-raising success.
You can participate:
You can help by purchasing a paver or T-shirt, or by attending one of our
fundraising events. Details can be
