| Firefighter’s Memorial in Newport, Ky. |
Near the Campbell County courthouse (seen in background) is the Northern Kentucky Firefighter’s Memorial depicting a firefighter carrying one child and walking two other children to safety. The “northern Kentucky” region is unlike any other in Kentucky: its citizenry identifies itself not by county or community, but simply by its generic “northern Kentucky” term. This memorial – and the corresponding firefighter’s association – is dedicated to the brave men of the various Northern Kentucky fire departments (39 departments in 4 counties) [*] and particularly those brave men and women who have laid their lives in service of their neighbors and communities.
