The following, while comprehensive, is an incomplete list of WWII solider/firefighters. This list of names, rank and unit(s) assigned are not included in my book "Army Fire Fighting: A Historical Perspective". This information has been compiled from unit historical documents obtained from army and air force history centers, newspaper articles, and personal communications from former army firefighters and/or their families.
This list was last updated May 16, 2020.
