BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Bethlehem Fire Department is honoring first responders who’ve gone above and beyond for the city.<\/p>\n
Earlier today, the department held an annual memorial service at its fire station on Broad Street.<\/p>\n
The ceremony began with an honor guard’s traditional displaying of the flags.<\/p>\n
The captain later read off the names of this year’s local fallen firefighters in honor of their dedication to the city.<\/p>\n
Bethlehem’s mayor spoke about the importance of their service.<\/p>\n
“That’s an idea that seems to be going away. The 3-people who we are honoring here today represent that,” said Mayor William J Reynolds.<\/p>\n
The Bethlehem Fire Department says it’s because of the firefighters that came before them that they’re able to continue to answer the call today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Bethlehem Fire Department is honoring first responders who’ve gone above and beyond for the city.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,3410,155,154,4579,28,9788],"class_list":{"0":"post-12655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bethlehem","8":"tag-bethlehem","9":"tag-bethlehem-fire-department","10":"tag-bethlehem-headlines","11":"tag-bethlehem-news","12":"tag-first-responder","13":"tag-pennsylvania","14":"tag-william-j-reynolds"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
