COLUSA, CA (MPG) – The Colusa Firefighters Association dedicated a memorial bench Wednesday, March 11, at A.B. Davison Park to honor fallen members of the Colusa Fire Department.
Firefighters gathered at the park alongside members of the Colusa Rotary Club, who marked the occasion by planting a trident maple tree through their Trees for Tomorrow program.
The bench sits across from the city’s splash pad, a location selected to serve both as a place of reflection and a practical resting spot for families. Parents can sit while children play nearby.
Colusa firefighter Emmanuel Soto said the association had worked on the project for an extended period and expressed appreciation that it is now in place for the community.
As part of the event, the firefighter’s association donated $100 to support the Rotary’s tree planting program. The Trees for Tomorrow initiative focuses on expanding the local tree canopy and improving public spaces. To learn more, visit cityofcolusa.com/trees
The bench now stands as a permanent marker recognizing those who served in the department while also adding to the park’s amenities.
