Firefighters from all across Florida are taking part in the Honor Guard Academy being held at the Florida State Fire College in Lowell this week in advance of the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Service being held at the Fire College on Thursday. A statewide Honor Guard demonstration will also be held in downtown Ocala and on the Ocala Downtown Square on Wednesday night, where many departments from across the state that march in the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Service, will demonstrate their attention to detail. The Wednesday night representation will also include Pipes and Drums sections, a few speeches and lots of pied pipers. [Bruce Ackerman/Ocala Gazette] 2021.
