Our Honor Guard members and Pipe & Drum musicians work these hours at fire stations around the city and very often put in additional volunteer hours each week in service to our fallen uniformed brothers & sisters and our community.

Why is the flag at half-staff right now?

Public Law 107-51 directs that “each year American flags on all Federal office buildings will be lowered to half-staff in honor of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service in Emmitsburg, Maryland.” Unlike other occasions listed in the US Flag Code, 107-51 does not specify a date but rather links the direction to an event (the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Memorial Weekend) whose calendar dates may shift slightly from year-to-year. Beginning in 2023, the Memorial Weekend was moved from October to the first full weekend in May. This year’s observance will occur on Sunday, May 3rd. In keeping with the spirit of the resolution detailed in 107-51, the San Antonio Professional Fire Fighters Association will be lowering their flags for the full memorial weekend.

Proud to march 3.2 miles alongside the San Antonio Police Department Honor Guard as a Joint Color Guard in the Battle of Flowers Parade. Always a pleasure to work with our SAPD honor guard counterparts. Yet another step (pun intended) in forging even stronger bonds with our brothers and sisters in blue.
