In 2004, the Honor Guard was formed with the teamwork of the Hooksett Fire Rescue Department and the Hooksett Permanent Firefighters Association IAFF Local 3264. The purpose of the guard is to honor our fire service family, past and present, in triumph and tragedy, in remembrance and in celebration, with Honor, Respect and Compassion.

Our members represent the dedicated men and women of the department who proudly serve the citizens of Hooksett. We train monthly to be proficient in close order drill, and learn the importance of history and tradition and how that tradition guides our actions while we support our family(s). Since our beginnings the Honor Guard has performed or attended parades, memorials services and opening ceremonies at community events. We have also traveled to communities within NH, Maine, New Jersey, and Montreal QC Canada to attend funeral / memorial services of firefighters who lost their lives in service to their communities.
