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 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.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation will commemorate International Firefighters Day on May 4, 2020, with special activities that celebrate and show our appreciation for the tireless work of firefighters. We invite you to join us in showing your support for our fire service community.
On May 5, 2020, we will mark #GivingTuesdayNow with #Give2NFFFNow. It’s your chance to help us honor America’s fallen fire heroes, to assist their families, and to prevent firefighter injuries and deaths.
