According to Internet sources International Firefighter's Day is today. It was instituted after an email went out across the world on January 4, 1999 due to the deaths of five firefighters in tragic circumstances in a wildfire in Australia. The 4 of May used to be a traditional Firefighters' Day in many European countries, because it's the day of St. Florian, patron saint of firefighters. My mind cant help but think of the courageous firefighters of the Septembers 11th disaster in my beloved NYC. I am glad someone reminded me to take the time to think about them today!
