Boston Firefighters Local 718 IAFF

Each year, active & retired Boston Firefighters gather together to pay tribute to our own; our Brothers & Sisters who have given their lives in service to others, and to each other.

This past year since we last gathered has been especially difficult for our Local 718 family. The tolls of our profession, from cancer & illness to a tragic loss at a building fire, continue to be paid by our Brother & Sister Firefighters and their loved ones.

Local 718 extends our invitation to members, family, and friends to Boston Firefighters Memorial Sunday.

Sunday June 14, 2026
Forest Hills Cemetery, Jamaica Plain
Mass: 8:30am, Forest Hills Chapel
Procession to grave site: 9:15am

All are welcome to join us afterwards at Florian Hall for the re-dedication of our Wall of Honor and collation.

Uniform of the Day: Class A, white gloves, mourning band.

Thank you, Norwood Firefighters Local 1631

Our friend and Brother, Bobby Kilduff is gone. He died how he lived; in the service of others. Bobby would have loved his send off on Monday. It’s now time to honor him and rededicate ourselves in BK’s memory: to firstly, to our families and our faith but, let us do Bobby proud and rededicate ourselves to our profession and our unionism! BK defined Union Strong! Rest easy Marine, we have it from here!

Thank you to Boston Carmen's Union Local 589 for all of your support this past week.
