The Omaha Professional Fire Fighters dedicated the fallen fire fighter memorial honoring the 55 Omaha Fire Fighters that have given the ultimate sacrifice for the City of Omaha. This project was completed with help from several area businesses and local citizens. The construction work at the site was completed by local unions in the Omaha area. The sculpture was created by local artist Matthew Placzek. The dedication was attended by several hundred people with letters from both Senator Ben Nelson and Mike Johanns being read. The names of all fifty five men who died in the line of duty were read and their individual flag was then carried into the monument area.
