Zach's final ride.
On behalf of Clearwater Volunteer Fire Department (Athens,TN), thanks to all those who turned out to pay respects to Zach.
Also we extend a huge thank you to all those that stopped what they were doing as this procession passed by to honor one of our brothers.

@69stinkpickle Umm... being a Funeral Director and EMT i know that at every funeral procession, we hold up traffic. Also, we do the same thing for the military, a Funeral is a celebration of ones life-- His life was cut short saving others, so we praise him. Don't put unessasary comments on videos just to start fights especially on a funeral procession.

And that's exactly why America is so much better than Europe. We know how to send off our heroes. Legal has nothing to do with giving a heroes good bye.

@ppehrson ... It may not be legal over on your side of the drink, but in AMERICA, we do things a little bit different... Whether you are a public servant from a mile away, or you are 2000 miles away, we are still as close as next door neighbors.. That's the way the 'Mericans roll brother !!

@69stinkpickle apparently you are not in emergency services. We are all one big brotherhood and when one of our brothers or sisters goes down we make sure the go out in style. I was in the funeral even though I didnt know Zach my dept went and supported his dept, family, and paid our final respects to our brother..so yes it is really necessary. Especially because firefighters, police, and EMS workers put their lives on the line for you everyday. So this is the least you can do to honor them.

[@cdoesrcher]

even though i am not yet a firefighter, i think this is how i would want to go, after all cant have a last call without the sirens.

[@Belchmaster41]

sirens are part of the tradition (including final alarm at the station)

[@jasminewinkler7119]

the US Emergency vehicles are sounding on such purpose that even the vehicles are crying.

[@Belchmaster41]

I agree, and most even show a bit of sadness on the front

[@mani1639]

Rip brother

[@Belchmaster41]

what cemetary is the funeral being held at?

[@ppehrson]

I can't imagine that being legal. It would certainly not be anywhere in Europe.

[@slam2680sm]

That's how it's done in America
