The Bridgewater Fire Department Band will help remember firefighters who lost their lives on the job. The band has been asked to play at this year's Canadian Fall Firefighters Foundation Memorial Service in Ottawa. The event pays tribute to more than 1,100 firefighters who died serving their communities. Band Director Wendell Eisener says men and women risk their lives everyday.Eisener says the band will have ceremonial roles at the Ottawa parade and memorial service, but they will also give a public performance. Firefighters from across the country will attend the ceremony to show support for fallen comrades and their families. The band is currently fundraising to be able to make the trip. The service will be held September 12-14.
