RALEIGH, N.C. — Downtown Raleigh was the backdrop Saturday to honor firefighters who died in the line of duty.

Since 1902, about 200 North Carolina firefighters have died in the line of duty. A parade to honor their service marched through downtown to historic Nash Square.

There was a special service for 26 of those fire fighters who were inducted into the memorial for the first time Saturday.
