In accordance with the Presidential proclamation and Public Law 107-51, Governor Kay Ivey has issued a flag-lowering directive for Sunday, May 3, 2026, to honor America’s fallen firefighters.
Since 1901, over 300 Alabama firefighters have lost their lives related to their service. This Sunday, May 3, 2026, we join the nation in pausing to reflect upon the many sacrifices of our firefighters and pray for them and their families.
Flags on the grounds of the State Capitol Complex in Montgomery and throughout the state of Alabama may be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Sunday, May 3, 2026, in observance of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.
