Syracuse Firefighters are gathering in downtown Syracuse on Sunday morning to remember comrades fallen in the line of duty.  It is the anniversary of the 1939 Collins Block fire, when 9 city firefighters died.  Now the Firefighters' Park ceremony remembers all who've died in the line of duty.

This year's ceremony comes, as the city propses closing a fire station to save, in its budget.   It's already a hotly debated topic.
