Conover, NC – The Catawba County Firefighter Memorial Service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 15, 2023 at Joy Baptist Church located at 4015 Herman Sipe road in Conover. Weather permitting, the service will conclude at the Memorial Site next door at the Catawba County Firefighter’s Museum. This is the 23rd annual service. During this year’s event firefighters will recognize twenty (20) members that we will be paying tribute to on this special afternoon.
“This service has a special meaning for all who attend, but especially for the family of the deceased fire service members that we honor and remember. These men and women have given years of their lives to our county’s fire service, and it is only proper that we give their families an hour of our time in remembrance of them.” states Memorial Coordinator David Pruitt.
