DFES hosts significant events to honour current and past firefighters and to foster a positive and collaborative partnership amongst volunteers and staff.
Information is available here on the key events that DFES hosts annually.
The WA Fire and Emergency Services (WAFES) Conference is an annual event that celebrates the collaboration and camaraderie of our emergency services as we work towards creating a safer State.
International Firefighters’ Day is observed on 4 May each year, to coincide with the feast of St. Florian, the patron saint of all firefighters.
On this day we pay our respects to volunteer and career firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty. It also provides an opportunity to acknowledge current and past firefighters for their extraordinary commitment, exceptional courage, and selfless pledge to serve their community.
The Firefighters Honour Roll contains the names of all the firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
In honour of International Firefighters’ Day, DFES hosts an annual memorial service at the Firefighters’ Memorial Grove in Kings Park on the first Sunday in May. The service commemorates Western Australian career and volunteer firefighters who have lost their lives serving the community and are included on the Fallen Firefighters’ Honour Roll.
All current and retired DFES personnel, volunteers, families and friends are invited to attend the service to pay their respects.
