Today is International
Firefighters Day. You may remember the post from January
10th, in which it was National Volunteer Firefighters Day, but
today is a bit different. International Firefighters Day is in support and
appreciation of ALL firefighters, both volunteer and not, from around the
world.
Firefighters are hometown
heroes, who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe during times that no one
ever wants to think about, let alone live! These men and women are an important
part of our communities, not to mention the visual appeal many long for with their
“Firefighter Calendars!” In all seriousness, many of the activities these teams
endure throughout their workday put them in situations that are risky and sometimes
life-threatening.
Fun Firefighter Fact: The
word “firefighter” has been used since 1903!
If you see a firefighter
today, be sure to acknowledge them, and tell them how much you appreciate the
work they do! But, in the meantime, why not vote on today’s poll, by clicking here!
