60 new names have been added to the national memorial wall.

The Canadian Fallen Firefighters Memorial on Sunday, honours and remembers firefighters who have been killed in the line of duty and to support their families.

It is a day that firefighters from across the country pay tribute to those in all levels of the fire service, from municipal, volunteer, military and wildlife.

John Sobey, with the Canadian Fallen Firefighter foundation has been taking part in the ceremony for the last 15 years.

"The hairs still go up on the back of my neck, particularly when I think of brother and sister firefighters who I've known and worked with or have known across Canada that are sadly not with us. I remember those people that I knew, as well as warmly receiving and accepting the names to our national wall." said Sobey.

There are currently 1,400 names on the wall and another 60 were added Sunday.
