Fallen Firefighters

It is the purpose of this section to recognize the most important people to Dist. 13 and the legacy they have left behind.  While Dist. 13 has not lost a firefighter in the line of duty, we feel that it is important past members be noticed for their hard work, dedication and community service.  It is our hope that each member listed below be remembered now and forever for what they have done to make life in the Ephrata area a whole lot safer.  Please take a moment and read the names of the Dist. 13 Firefighters that have passed away, but continue to live on through the people of Ephrata that they have helped and served.  The dates below each name is the time each respective firefighter served with Fire Dist. 13.
