IAFF transportation system will be operating from the Colorado Springs Airport
with shuttle service to the IAFF contracted hotels. Please supply us with your
arrival and departure dates and times and flight number if you are flying to
Colorado Springs airport.

Lodging
The IAFF is providing a list of hotels that are now offering
special discounts to all the IAFF members attending the Memorial Service between
September 17-21, 2008.
Attendees need to call hotels directly to make reservations
and must mention the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial to receive special rates
at these hotels. Discounted rooms are available on first come, first served
basis.
All rates quoted were valid at the time contact was established
with the hotel. The IAFF is not able to guarantee the rates or contact the hotel
on behalf of an individual. It is recommended that you contact the hotel
immediately in order to confirm lodging. It is also recommended that you confirm
your room rate for all nights you are booking, since the hotels commonly have
different rates throughout the week.
When making your hotel reservations, you must request rooms
within the block for the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial to ensure you receive
the quoted rate.
• The IAFF will provide shuttles from the Double Tree, Comfort Inn,
Courtyard by Marriott, Crowne Plaza, Fairfield Inn, La Quinta and Residence
Inn to and from the Ceremony on Saturday.
• The IAFF will assist all families with other transportation
needs, such as sight seeing, from the Double Tree hotel only. Such
transportation needs are arranged through the IAFF Transportation Center at
the Registration Area in the Double Tree Hotel.
