Heroes's Memorial Park
Eastport Fire Station
The presence of the Fire Service in Eastport stretches back to 1886, making it one of our community's most historic fire stations. That history -as with our community and the nation's currecnt challenges - includes many amazing heroes who may be unsung but are deserving the honor.
Now, the Annapolis Fire Department and AFD Local 1926 is poised to honor these amazing heroes - past and present - by creating a beautiful and peaceful memorial park in front of Station 36. Inscribed memorial bricks will be available to honor our heroes - firefighters, law enforcement, military, and any other individual who is YOUR hero.
The Eastport Volunteer Fire Company will collect your brick and donation and help you as you honor your hero. Together, we can acknowledge their bravery, courage, and serve, and create another restful and beautiful greenspace for all us to enjoy.
ECA members can purchase a brick inscribed with words that they write. There are three levels of brick: 1) 8 x 8 with 3 lines with 16 characters per line ($150), 2) 8 x12 with 4 lines with 17 characters per line ($250), and #) 12 x 12 brick with 6 lines with 23 characters per line($500). The ECA encourages members to buy a brick.
