May 4 was chosen as the date to celebate International Firefighter' Day as it is also the Feast Day of St Florian, the Patron Saint of Firefighters.

A Roman officer known for his courage and leadership, St Florian is remembered for his role in organising firefighting brigades and for standing firm in the face of danger.

His legacy lives on in firefighters around the world today.

On this day, we honour not only tradition—but the enduring spirit of service and protection. We celebrate and thank brave firefighters around the world who risk their lives to protect our communities. Your courage, commitment, and dedication never go unnoticed. Stay safe, and know that you are deeply appreciated.

This week, Central Callaway Fire Protection District proudly recognizes and thanks the incredible team at Callaway County Joint Communications

Behind every emergency response is a calm, steady voice guiding the way. Our telecommunicators are the unseen first responders—answering the calls no one ever wants to make, gathering critical information, and ensuring help is sent quickly and safely. Their ability to stay composed under pressure, provide life-saving instructions, and coordinate multiple agencies is nothing short of extraordinary.

Day or night, holidays or storms, they are always there—serving as the vital link between our community and emergency services. Their dedication, professionalism, and compassion do not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for the partnership we share.

To the men and women of Callaway County Joint Communications: thank you for your unwavering commitment to protecting and serving our community. We appreciate everything you do, today and every day.

Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week!
