Firefighters, and Safety at the Grill


Labor Day isn’t just the unofficial end of summer—it began as a fight for safer working conditions, fair pay, and dignity for America’s workers. And yes, firefighters were part of that movement, too. 🚒

In this episode of Beyond the Nozzle, we explore:

  • How Labor Day started in the 1880s as a workers’ holiday.

  • Why firefighters helped push for better labor rights.

  • How Labor Day traditions—parades, cookouts, fireworks—bring communities together.

  • The fire safety risks that come with grilling, campfires, and fireworks… and how to prevent them.

This Labor Day, while you enjoy the three-day weekend, take a moment to remember the sacrifices workers made—and the safety steps that keep celebrations from turning into emergencies.
