FIREFIGHTER’S MONUMENT The imposing Firefighter’s Monument at Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain was dedicated in 1909 to the memory of deceased firefighters of the Boston Fire Department. It is located within the Firemen’s Lot at the Cemetery. The Lot was established in 1857, with enough space to provide for 249 graves. The first burials at the Lot were for two firefighters who died in the Line Of Duty on May 2, 1858 at 133-139 Federal St., Downtown. _________________ |
