West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has ordered flags at state facilities to be flown at half staff on Sunday, May 4, 2025, to honor National Firefighters Memorial Day. National Firefighters Day was first approved by a Joint Resolution of Congress on October 16, 2001, to honor federal, state, and local firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty. An average of 80 firefighters courageously make the ultimate sacrifice each year.
