Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation memorial service

Yesterday I had the opportunity to cover the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation memorial service.  This ceremony is held to commemorate the firefighters that are killed in the line of duty every year all through Canada.

Here are some frames from yesterday's ceremony.
