Several JFW members can be seen standing aboard the float, and five more can be seen marching on the road in front of it. A figure of U.S. Forest Service mascot Smokey Bear stands in the middle of the float. A large JFW signboard stands at the rear of the float. A marching band can be seen further down the road behind the parade float.

The JFW uniform consists of a red long-sleeved dress shirt with a logo on the left shoulder and right breast along with a red hat, dark grey pants, a dark grey tie, and a yellow aiguillette worn on the left shoulder.
