A child dressed as a fire chief observes headstones, a fire engine, and a fire fighter at Lone Fir Historic Cemetery on Memorial Day.
Spend the day walking the grounds learning about the veterans, firefighters and police officers buried on the historic property. Join a guide from Friends of Lone Fir Cemetery to discover the past and present on an historic or veteran’s tour. Retired firefighter Don Porth will share the stories of Portland’s early firefighters. Self-guided tours available on-site will allow visitors to learn about Portland’s early police officers. In the morning, the crew of Portland Fire & Rescue Engine 9 will raise the flag in the Firefighters’ Section, followed by a short program with an honor guard and the chance to see a fire engine up close.
