Service planned to honor fallen firefighters 
A memorial service to honor those firefighters killed battling the wildfires in Trinity County is set for about 2 p.m. on Sept. 13 at the Junction City Fire Hall on Dutch Creek Road.
The Trinity Co Fire Chiefs Assn and Wildland Firefighters Assn are organizing a fund-raiser for the families of the 12 fallen firefighters. The fund raiser will be Sept 6.
An engraved bronze memorial plaque will be placed in stone and an engraved bronze name recognition plaque will also be placed on the fire hall. The memorial service is to occur shortly before 2 p.m. to commemorate the time 18-year-old firefighter Andrew Jackson Palmer suffered fatal injuries when he was struck by a tree on July 25 while battling the Eagle Fire near Junction City.
The ceremony also recognizes those nine fire personnel who were killed August 5 in a helicopter crash after a day of fighting the Buckhorn Fire and 49-year-old Fire Chief Daniel Packer, who died July 26 while scouting the Panther Fire near Happy Camp.
The memorial service is being sponsored and organized by the North Fork Grange, the Junction City Volunteer Fire Department, E Clampus Vitus, Trinity Co Fire Chiefs Assn, Wildland Firefighters Assn, and Trinity County communities. The public is invited to attend.
