On August 25, 2014 at 1:30 pm members from the Kennewick, WA community assembled at the flag pole  of Kennewick Fire Department in honor of those who lost their lives fighting the fires and the one in critical condition.


There was a moment of silence, and then we sang our National Anthem.

Fire Chief Vince Beasley retired the flag in honor of those who lost their lives.



Later that day, four firefighters stood behind Janine Stange with the retired flag as she sang our National Anthem at the Benton Franklin Fair and Rodeo.



The retired flag will go to the person who contributes the most to this fund will receive the American Flag, autographed 50th state photo, and Certificate of Authenticity.

Funds are being directed to Windermere Foundation Wildfire Fund and will be dispersed to the four families of the four firefighters.
