International Firefighters’ Day is a way to say thank you to the world’s firefighters for all that they do to keep our communities safe

Born out of a tragic loss of five firefighters in a wildfire in Victoria, Australia, it was a way to honor their lives and the sacrifice that firefighters are willing to make for you and me on a daily basis. This day of recognition is at the core of what the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) does. Our mission is to honor and remember America’s fallen firefighters, to assist their families in rebuilding their lives, and to prevent firefighter injuries and deaths.

Maugansville Goodwill Volunteer Fire Company would like to thank those past and present and upcoming firefighters for their commitment to keep communities safe.
