Seattle Fire Walter Kilgore Memorial Honor Guard

History

The Walter Kilgore Seattle Firefighters Honor Guard was conceived in 2000 by the Seattle Fire Fighters Benevolent Association, now known as Seattle’s Bravest Charity (SBC). It was made possible by a generous donation from Mary Anne Kilgore (and the law firm Schroeter, Goldmark & Bender) in memory of her husband Lt. Walter Kilgore, who perished in the line of duty at the Pang Warehouse Fire on Jan. 5, 1995.

Mission

The purpose of the Honor Guard shall be to show last and final full honors to Seattle firefighters who have died in the “line of duty” as well as to participate in ceremonies honoring “non line of duty” deaths for both active and non-active members of the Seattle Fire Department and “line of duty” deaths for other fire departments. The Walter Kilgore Seattle Firefighters Honor Guard will also operate and maintain a Color Guard consisting of flags and axes.
