The Seattle Firefighters Honor Guard was conceived in 2000 by the Seattle Firefighters 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 of Schroeter, Goldmark & Bender) in memory of her husband Seattle Fire Lieutenant Walter Kilgore, who perished at the Mary Pang Arson warehouse fire. 

The purpose of this unit 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 Seattle Firefighters Honor Guard also operates and maintains a Color Guard consisting of flags and axes.
