Where firefighters come to talk training
Honor Guard
My department is starting an Honor Guard. I am one of the charter members. Are there any good sources out there. Any suggestions? Drills, uniforms, ect. We don't want to reinvent the wheel here.

Jordan, Contact the Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois Honor Guard at affihonorguard.com and get a hold of one of the contact people to lead you in the right direction. This HG is a state wide HG and has over 500 members and is about 16 years old. Good luck Brother.
