Wildland Firefighter Monument
The Interagency Wildland Firefighters Monument is a place where people can appreciate, celebrate, reflect on, mourn, imagine and enjoy the wildland fire community’s endeavors and outcomes. The monument serves no single purpose or role; it is meant to be enjoyed by people from all walks of life.

Surrounded by wildflowers, 3 bronze statues stand in silent tribute to all wildland firefighters. The rustle of aspen leaves and peaceful sound of water cascading over rocks, make the Wildland Firefighters Monument a perfect place to stop and reflect on the natural beauty of our public lands, and the dedication of those who toil tirelessly amid smoke and flames season after season to protect them. This is truly a place of peace, remembrance, reflection and gratitude.

Welcome to the Wildland Firefighters Monument, A Wildland Firefighter’s Sanctuary. As you follow the ribbon-shaped path, know that every flower, bush, tree, plant, bench and waterfall stone has been carefully sown or placed by someone who recognizes and appreciates a Wildland firefighter’s courage, selflessness, dedication, and most of all, his or her sacrifice. Stop near the waterfall; close your eyes; quiet your mind; still your soul. You are in a place of sanctuary, a place of healing. This place is for wildland firefighters and others who support them. This place is for you...
