TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday in the Florida Capitol courtyard for the state's new Fallen Firefighter Memorial. A key feature of the memorial will be the names of all the firefighters in the state who have died in the line of duty, including six from 2014. The ceremony featured Gov. Rick Scott, Cabinet members and a number of family members of fallen emergency personnel. The State Fire Marshal's office has partnered with various firefighting agencies across the state to help fund the memorial, which was approved through a resolution by Scott and the Cabinet last year.
