May 4th is International Firefighters Day.

This global observance pays tribute to those who lost their lives in the line of duty and recognizes the invaluable contribution of fire services in ensuring public safety. Firefighters play a crucial role not just in firefighting but also in rescue operations, disaster management, and emergency response systems.

Today we honor the courage and sacrifice of both professional and volunteer firefighters.

Thank you for all you do!!

April 12-18 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. We honor our first first responders, our country’s incredible 911 professionals. In a moment of crisis, they are the first voice heard, our lifelines, our calm in the chaos, providing unwavering support for the public and the emergency responders they work alongside.
Please join us in recognizing their dedication and all they do to keep our community safe.
