Name: Lieutenant Steen Eriksson
Assignment: Station 18 (A Shift)

Member since: 1989
Why did you join the honor guard? Being a part of the Honor Guard is one of the things in my career of which I am most proud. It is rewarding for me to be representing our department in this capacity, as I believe it brings a sense of tradition and dignity to the fire service when we are out there doing what we do. I enjoy the discipline and formality when we are "in the zone". Also, in my opinion, there is no better way to pay respect to a fallen firefighter and the family than to post and render honors with the Pipe and Drum at a memorial or funeral service, and I am honored to be a part of it.
