126th Tournament of Roses

Members of our Los Angeles County Fire Fighters Emerald Society joined our Honor Guard, Museum, Medal of Valor recipients, and Fire Chief Osby for our representation of all the 3200 employees of Los Angeles County Fire Department.
“It’s not everyday that we are honored with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities such as this. We were both honored and humbled to have had the chance to participate in representing Los Angeles County Fire Department” said LACoFF ES President, Michael McCormick.
The 5.5 mile march in the coldest Rose Parade in history was considerably fast and fun. Fire Chief Osby led the detail on the classic horse drawn pumper provided by our Museum. Our Honor Guard presented the colors sharp and proud as always. Along with the theme of the Rose Parade “Inspiring Stories” we had the honor to march with the Medal of Valor recipients of 2014. Their stories are truly professional courage and dedication to the core of our profession. Job well done to you all.
