considerations are usually considered either Labor or
Management related.Union Local

individual should aid the family in deciding how
detailed the ceremony will be. This individual will
serve as the contact to gain information from
surviving family members.

Contacting the IAFF and state
organizations. This will activate the Honor Guard.

Establish constant communication
with the chiefs staff and local authorities in order
to prepare for an influx of visiting personnel and
apparatus. Also traffic, parking, street closures,

to make this event come together smoothly.

Secure lodging for visiting union
personnel if needed.
