Posted

For the 123rd consecutive year, the Warren Fire Department conducts its annual memorial recognition ceremonies. The 2025 edition takes place Sunday, June 8. Events are free and open to the public.

Events begin with a mass at St Mary of the Bay Church at 8 p.m. followed by a parade of all department WFD personnel and apparatus at 11 a.m., including a performance by the Mt. Hope High School Marching Band. The parade route starts on Croade Street, proceeds north on Main Street to Water Street then to State Street to the Town Common where the memorial ceremony for deceased members from the past year takes place. This year honors Engine 5's and Rescue David Jarvais and Engine 5's Edwin McClure Jr. The guest speaker is Warren Town Council President Joseph DePasquale.

After the ceremonies, a luncheon will be hosted by the department at Warren Fire headquarters on Joyce Street. The community is urged to line the parade route to show its support to the many dedicated volunteers of Warren Fire and Rescue. All who attend are also welcome to the luncheon as well.
