Several Members of the Pittsburgh EMS/FAPP Honor Guard
Honor Guard Info
The City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Emergency Medical Services Honor Guard was established in February of 1995. An EMS Honor Guard was needed to help honor three City of Pittsburgh Firefighters that tragically lost their lives in a structure fire on Valentines Day.
Since then, the Honor Guard has grown from three initial members to the 15 dedicated members that provide this distinguished service today. All members are City of Pittsburgh Bureau of EMS Paramedics or Paramedic-Crew Chiefs.
The Honor Guard is busy throughout the year, providing services at different details. Some of these details include parades, banquets, dedications, memorial services, funerals, conferences and inaugurations. The Honor Guard has traveled out of state for several ceremonial details.
The annual signature event for the Honor Guard is held each year during May, when the National EMS Memorial Service is held in Roanoke, Virginia. At this event, EMS agencies from across the nation take the time to honor those pre-hospital EMS personnel who have made the “Ultimate Sacrifice”, losing their lives in the line of duty.
The Honor Guard would not be successful if not for the support of EMS Chief Robert J. McCaughan and Fraternal Association of Professional Paramedics Local 1 President Jeff Vesci.
