Marching in parades has been a tradition at the Washington Fire Company since the early 1900's. Over the year the company has won many competitions wearing the Blue an Gold colored uniform of the Washies. The company is proud of it's accomplishments as a marching unit and would like to share soe photographs of the company in the line of march to you. The links below are from various parades we have participated in.

We are a fire company that has a theme song, sung to the tune of the chorus of the Beer Barrel Polka. Below are the words to the song:

Here come the Washies, marching along in their blues

Here come the Washies, always been known to be true

Let's get together, give them a hand and a cheer

Now's the time to hail the Washies, for the gang all here!
