BEING A FIREFIGHTER IS NO JOKE. THEY DO BACKBREAKING WORK, RISKING (AND SOMETIMES LOSING) THEIR LIVES SAVING PEOPLE AND PROPERTY.  CLOSER TO HOME, ON 9/11/01, THE FDNY LOST 343 FIREFIGHTERS.

THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN ARE TRAINED TO RUN TOWARD DANGER WHEN OTHERS RUN AWAY FROM IT. 

THEY ARE TRUE HEROES. IN APPRECIATION OF INTERNATIONAL FIREFIGHTERS DAY ON MAY 4, YOU’LL MEET A TRAILBLAZING FIRE CHIEF, GET SOME HISTORY ON FIREFIGHTERS, AND MORE!
