On Tuesday, Waterbury hosted its 31st Annual Police and Fire Memorial Ceremony.
Friends, families, and colleagues were among the attendees.
“We honor those fire officers and police officers who have died in the line of duty. In addition, we honor those who have passed in the past year since our last memorial. We have many firemen and policemen who have served us and it’s one way we can pay respect back to those families,” said Sgt. Nadine Amatruda, Waterbury Police Department.
Before the ceremony, members of the Waterbury Fire Department went on a 4-mile motivational run, stopping at two places where firefighters have died in the city to show their respects.
