October Incidents 2015

This month will see the annual return of the tradition-rich Fallen Firefighter Memorial as well as the second outing of the JFRD organized and well received Sea of Blue commemorative march in support of the previously mentioned Memorial. What is different this year, and thus adding quite a bit of excitement to the proceedings, is the first time inclusion of these two activities with the annual Florida/Georgia 'weekend' extravaganza. In addition, the JFRD event(s) will feature two new elements: the Sea of Blue will encompass a new route through downtown ( culminating with an end stretch along Bay Street) and the subsequent Memorial will occur, for the first time ever, at the Memorial Wall located at the Fire Museum, the latter representing the end destination of the memorial march. The specific event date is Thursday, October 29 beginning at 9 AM at the Jacksonville Landing, the point of origin for the Sea of Blue, with the Memorial scheduled immediately upon the conclusion of the march and thus an anticipated start time of approximately 10 AM.
