Public invited to honor the memories of firefighters at annual ceremony on June 9

The public is invited to join members of the Hull Fire Department and their families on Sunday, June 9, to celebrate Firefighter’s Memorial Sunday at the Hull Village Cemetery, assembling at 9 a.m. with  services beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Firefighter’s Memorial Sunday is held each year on the second Sunday in June to honor all the active and retired Hull firefighters who have passed away during the last year, and has been a tradition for more than 100 years throughout the country. Memorial Sunday is sponsored by the Hull Firefighters Relief Association, organized in 1925 to provide a small benefit to the families of deceased members at a time of need.

In the event of heavy rain, the service will be held indoors at the Central Fire Station, 671 Nantasket Ave., at the corner of A Street.
