I'National Firefighters' Day
International Firefighters' Day (IFFD) is observed on May 4. It was instituted after
proposal emailed out across the world on January 4, 1999 due to the deaths of five
firefighters in tragic circumstances in a wildfire in Australia.
 Fire Safety Month is
observed throughout
October.  See our pages for lots of fun and educational
activities.

May 4 used to be a traditional Firefighters' Day in many European countries, because it
is the day of Saint Florian, patron saint of firefighters.

International Firefighters' Day (IFFD) is a time where the world's community can
recognise and honour the sacrifices that firefighters make to ensure that their
communities and environment are as safe as possible. It is also a day in which current
and past firefighters can be thanked for their contributions.

International Firefighters' Day is observed each year on 4 May. On this date you are
invited to remember the past firefighters who have died while serving our community
or dedicated their lives to protecting the safety of us all. At the same time, we can
show our support and appreciation to the firefighters world wide who continue to
protect us so well throughout the year.

By proudly wearing and displaying blue and red ribbons pinned together or by
participating in a memorial or recognition event, we can show our gratitude to
firefighters everywhere.
