Big Tree Fire Company Honored for “Best First Responder Marchers” at the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Buffalo, NY

At last night’s company meeting, Chief Roth formally presented the trophy for “Best First Responder Marchers in memory of LT Thomas Masterson,” an honor awarded to the Big Tree Fire Company during the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The trophy was presented to Fire Company President Daniel Bozek in recognition of the company’s outstanding participation and representation in the parade.

Chief Roth also extended special congratulations to marchers Mary Makin and Sam Caruso, who proudly carried the company’s traditional banner throughout the parade.

🚒 DID YOU SEE US?!? ☘️🚒

Members of Big Tree proudly marched today in the Downtown Buffalo St. Patrick’s Day Parade!

We march each year to honor Frances X. Doherty, one of our founding members. In his memory, we continue the tradition of proudly carrying the banner in the parade.

If you were downtown or at the Old Neighborhood Parade yesterday, we hope you saw Big Tree Fire Company marching with pride! 🇮🇪

🚒 DID YOU SEE US?!?

Members of Big Tree proudly marched in both the Old Neighborhood Parade and will be marching again tomorrow in the Downtown Buffalo St. Patrick’s Day Parade!

Here’s a little-known Big Tree fact: one of our founding members, Frances X. Doherty, is the reason we participate in the downtown parade each year.

To honor his legacy and the history of our company, Big Tree continues the tradition by carrying the banner in the parade annually in memory of Frances.

If you’re downtown tomorrow, keep an eye out for the Big Tree Fire Company marching with pride! 🇮🇪🚒

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Big Tree
