SILVERDALE — Firefighter honor guard equipment was stolen from a vehicle in Tacoma earlier this month. The theft was discovered as team members were getting ready to present colors at a recent Seattle Mariners game. Firefighters are seeking the public’s assistance in finding the items.

Items taken are: Two parade axes, custom made with Local 2819’s coin embedded in the handle; Two parade pike poles; a U.S. flag and a Washington State Flag.

All items were in two long, plastic cases. One case is black and one is grey and both have red IAFF stickers on them.
