The Columbus Fire Honor Guard now has fire remembrance flags available for internment services to Columbus Firefighters. The Honor Guard has always been and still will fold an American flag draped on a veteran’s casket, and present to a close living member at the internment services. There is now an option for non veterans (and veterans) to have a subordinate flag to drape the casket and be presented. 
The fire remembrance flag is a 9 1/2 by 5 foot flag, sized to drape on a casket. The flag consist of three horizontal stripes of red, black then red. In the center is the Columbus Fire logo. The logo is sewn on, not printed. When the flag is folded, it is red in color.
 
Thanks to the support of the Firefighters VFW (Captain Ron Casto) and the Local 67 firefighters union, the Honor Guard can now provide these flags to members wishing to purchase. The cost is currently $260.00 for this quality constructed flag. The Honor Guard does not make any money on the purchase or sale of these flags. It is the intent to have a minimum stock on hand to serve any unforeseen needs. Inquires can be made through any Honor Guard Unit Commander or the office of ES-1 at 645-4128.

Captain Don Weldon
Honor Guard Commander

 

 

We have been asked to inform our members that IAFF Medallions for graves are available at the Local 67 office and some of the other locals may also have some available. There two types: a free standing flag holder and one that would attach to existing grave markers.

Fellow firefighter,
 
I recently published a historical novel, When the Bronx Burned, about the
burning of New York during the 1960s&70s. I served in the South Bronx from
'67 to '76, when it was burning. I am sure some of your members would enjoy
this book. The book is dedicated to firefighters everywhere, especially
those who served in these areas during that time when we often fought five
or more building fires on a tour.
Thanks,
Lt. John Finucane
Ret, FDNY
