International Fire Fighter's Day

Today is the day that’s set aside to recognize all firefighters who support public safety. Take time to celebrate with each other and to reflect on the work that you do. Although hard at times, your “bum in the chair” means something to more people than you know.

And while your work is important to others, it’s important that you also take time to reflect on why you’re in this role and what it means to you!

Finally, for the Star Wars aficionados, what better day to than May the 4th…. I leave it at that! :)
