The Framingham Firefighter Memorial Foundation has raised $103,000 toward a $150,000 goal to build a permanent memorial honoring Framingham firefighters who served the city. The project is $47,000 short of its fundraising goal, according to a community announcement, and the foundation is seeking additional donations and corporate sponsorships. The memorial is planned for Framingham Fire Department Headquarters at 10 Loring Drive. It will include a 6-foot bronze firefighter statue, a granite wall with the names of firefighters who died in service to the city and an area recognizing past members of the department.
