United Pima Firefighters Local #3504

“In Honor Guard, we have a saying: ‘Honor the fallen, honor the flag.’

Members of the Drexel Heights Fire District and the Pascua Pueblo Fire Department proudly participated in this year’s Memorial Day Parade, honoring the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who served, fought, and made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

Today, and always we remember their courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment to protecting the freedoms we hold dear. 🇺🇸

Today, we honor and remember Captain John McCaffrey on his 10-year memorial.

Captain McCaffrey’s dedication, leadership, and service left a lasting impact on the Drexel Heights Fire District family and all those who had the privilege to serve alongside him. His commitment to protecting others and his passion for the fire service continue to inspire us every day.

Though 10 years have passed, his legacy remains strong within Drexel Heights Fire District and in the hearts of all who knew him.

We remember his sacrifice, honor his service, and will never forget.

Today, on International Firefighters’ Day, we recognize the dedication, courage, and sacrifice of firefighters everywhere.

We honor those who continue to serve and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
