With bravery and a heart for service, our firefighters stand ready, protecting lives, safeguarding communities, and answering every call.

On this day, we honor the Feast of St. Florian, the patron saint of firefighters.

A Roman military officer martyred in 304 AD, St. Florian is remembered for his legendary bravery in organizing fire brigades and saving a village from a massive blaze. His legacy of sacrifice and protection remains the heart of our mission today.

To our modern-day heroes in the BFP, thank you for your courage and commitment to keeping our communities safe.

Happy Feast of St. Florian!
