Honor Guard
Members of the Red, White and Blue Honor Guard
The Red, White and Blue Honor Guard was formed in late 2004 following the untimely death of Driver Operator Barrie Niebergall. Many members of the organization found it fitting to honor his fire service legacy by promoting what he stood for: Honor, Integrity, and Tradition. An initial group of four started the program, with up to seven members participating. Local 4325 worked in conjunction with the Fire District to provide a professional group to honor the members of the fire service and perform at community events.
Since the inception of the program, the honor guard has participated in many local, state, and national events. These events include: July 4th celebrations, Cub Scout Arrowhead ceremonies, high school graduations, high school athletic events, fire chief conferences, college graduations, numerous conferences, Colorado Fallen Firefighters Memorial, International Fallen Firefighters Memorial, U.S. Firefighters Memorial, Denver Bronco’s games, and Colorado Rockies games. These events are all conducted free of charge, with donations accepted.
