Fourth of July festivities to uplift community, honor firefighters killed Sunday in the line of duty
The Coeur d'Alene Regional Chamber's American Heroes Fourth of July Parade will be held as usual at 10 a.m. Friday on Sherman Avenue in downtown Coeur d'Alene. This year's parade theme, with 100 entries, is "Home of the Brave." The beloved Independence Day tradition has been in doubt by some this week following the shootings Sunday that took the lives of Coeur d'Alene Fire Battalion Chief John Morrison, 52, and Kootenai County Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Frank Harwood, 42, who were ambushed when responding to a brush fire on Canfield Mountain. "In light of the recent tragedy affecting our local fire community, we believe it is more important than ever for us to come together — to stand in unity, to honor the strength of our community and to pay tribute to the brave men and women who serve and protect us," Coeur d'Alene Chamber President and CEO Linda Coppess said Tuesday.
