SJR 166 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates first Sunday in May of each year as "Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day."

SJR 166 designates the first Sunday in May each year as "Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day" in New Jersey to honor volunteer and career firefighters who died while on duty. The resolution requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation urging public officials and citizens to observe the day, and directs all state and local government agencies to fly U.S. and New Jersey flags at half-staff in tribute. It specifically recognizes the approximately 145 New Jersey firefighters who died on duty between 1990 and 2024. This is a ceremonial resolution with no new funding or policy changes, aligning New Jersey's observance with the existing National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day.
