Everyone loves to see the variety of fire trucks and equipment that come from our beautiful state to compete in this parade. Some might say that this is probably the largest Fireman's Parade in West Virginia with over 100 units including the fire trucks and emergency squads.  The parade begins at 6:30 p.m. with bands, floats, dignitaries and the Fire Trucks will start down Strawberry Lane at 7:00 p.m.

The Buckhannon Volunteer Fire Department is proud to serve as the official Host Department for the Fireman's Day Parade on May 16th in conjunction with the WV Strawberry Festival. 

Entry Line-up will be at 5:30pm and the parade will begin at 7:00 p.m.

• Best Equipped Custom Engine
• Best Equipped Commercial Engine
• Best Equipped Rescue
• Best Equipped Aerial or Platform
• Chief's Choice
• Longest Distance Traveled
• Oldest Operating Engine Still In Service
