International Firefighters’ Day | 9 May 2026
Although organised firefighting dates back over two millennia, International Firefighters’ Day was first marked on 4 May 1999 - a day dedicated to honouring the brave men and women who protect our lives, property, communities, and natural environment.
It’s also a time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Strength. Brotherhood. Service.
