The PCFD is inviting the community to join the city and light up their homes, businesses, and community in red for fallen firefighters on May 1-5, a Palm Coast press release said. Palm Coast City Hall, the Palm Coast Community Center, the fountains throughout the community, and all five fire stations will be illuminated red in honor of fallen firefighters.

The fire department will light the nights in memory of Firefighter Brant Gammon, who died on Nov. 3, 2022 passed after a courageous battle against metastatic brain cancer, the press release said. Gammon began his career with the Palm Coast Fire Department in 2018 as a volunteer firefighter and joined the ranks of the career staff in October 2020 as a firefighter-EMT.
