It was a solemn day at the state capitol as Minnesotans spent their afternoon commemorating firefighters who've lost their lives in the line of duty. The five firefighters honored Sunday now have their names etched into Minnesota's Fallen Firefighter Memorial.

Burnsville firefighter Adam Finseth and two others whose names were lost to history are recognized for their sacrifice at annual memorial ceremony.

The inscription of Burnsville firefighter paramedic Adam Finseth's name added to the memorial on Sunday marked 249 Minnesota firefighters lost in the line of duty.
