It is the mission of the Baytown Fire Department Honor Guard to represent the Baytown Professional Firefighters Association Local 1173, the Baytown Fire Department, and/or the Department of a fallen firefighter and the firefighter's local government as a highly disciplined team. Serving active and retired personnel with honor, respect, and dignity at ceremonial functions and at funeral services along with planning and coordinating services for personnel that have died in the line of duty, provide comfort and compassion for their survivors. This will be accomplished through drilling in military etiquette and attention to detail.
The Honor Guard also participates in local events such as parades and civic gatherings.
