The Manhattan Fire Department Honor Guard is made up of 12 firefighters. The Honor Guard was established in 2009. This group of individuals is dedicated and committed to continue the traditions of the fire service regarding honor, loyalty, courage and compassion. This group of individuals is highly motivated and maintains exceptionally high standards of appearance and conduct.

The primary role of the Honor Guard is to provide special services for injured and fallen comrades. Other functions of the Honor Guard may include serving as the “guardians of the colors” by displaying and escorting the national flag on ceremonial occasions.

The Honor Guard has made several appearances in parades, K-State sporting events, ceremonial services, and the IAFF Fallen Firefighter Memorial.
