MSFA Honor Guard


The Mississippi State Fire Academy Honor Guard was established in 2008. Since its inception, our mission has been to serve the fire fighters around the state in their time of need. We were established to help remember and memorialize any fire fighter that serves or served this great state as a token of our appreciation on a state level. We also assist any other established Hon

or Guard throughout the state with functions or services as they need us. ‘We have represented the fire service in Mississippi at countless events from presenting the colors for President George W. Bush on a visit to Jackson, to memorializing lost fire fighters that paid the ultimate sacrifice. It is our hope that we can serve you in your time of need or at a special event in your local jurisdiction. Please review the following information for deployment guidelines of the Honor Guard. If your department or agency would like to utilize the services of the MSFA Honor Guard, the following procedures are in place:
- Notification to the MSFA Executive Director 72 hours prior to the event.
- A brief description of services you are requesting.
- Time and date of service or function.
- Directions to the event.
- Point of contact (name, cell phone number, secondary contact person and cell).
- During weekends or holidays, contact your County Fire Coordinator, who will contact the State Fire Coordinator Brad Smith. He will contact MSFA Executive Director Terry Wages or Instructor Advanced Donny Collins. The MSFA Honor Guard was established to serve and honor members of the Mississippi Fire Service. It is with great honor and pride that we provide this service to you. Should we be of service to you, please contact the Mississippi State Fire Academy at (601) 932-2444.
