Každoročně, o první neděli v říjnu, se v areálu koná vzpomínková slavnost uctívající padlé hasiče. K pomníku se pokládá věnec darovaný americkým prezidentem a na Zeď cti se přidávají plakety se jmény požárníků, kteří padli v předchozím roce. Večer před slavností se koná vigílie při svíčkách. (cs)

The Memorial is open to the public throughout the year. On October 16, 2001, President George W. Bush approved legislation requiring the United States flag to be lowered to half-staff on all federal buildings to memorialize fallen firefighters. Public Law 107-51 requires this action to occur annually in conjunction with observance of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service. The date of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service is traditionally the first Sunday in October. A candlelight vigil service is held the night before the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service. Both services are held at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. These services memorialize Fallen Firefighters from around the nation.In 2020, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Foundation held a virtual ceremony to remember Fallen firefighters. (en)
