In 1992, the Springfield Fire Department Honor Guard was founded with eight members. The last of the active original members have moved on, and now the Honor Guard has an authorized strength of up to 12 personnel.
The Honor Guard’s mission
is to honor Fire Service
members, past and present, the
Springfield Fire Department
and the United States of
America with the highest
degree of professionalism,
loyalty and dignity.
Members of the guard must
display exceptional pride,
dedication and commitment
to the City of Springfield,
the Fire Department and the
firefighting profession.
The Honor Guard meets and trains multiple times throughout the year. The guard exists to provide service to others. Sometimes that means raising the flag for our nation and sometimes it is to pay respect to, and offer support for, the family of a fallen brother or sister in their time of need.
