Each year since the tragic blaze, firefighters honored their fallen comrades by running as a group from Station 4 to Station 5 to Station 6 and then ending at the site of the fire.
For the first time, the event was open to the public to join and pay their respects.
Beatriz Fana-Ruiz, 28, was charged with murder and arson following the house fire that took the lives of the Wilmington firefighters.
