“The role of a firefighter in today’s society – be it urban, rural, natural environment, volunteer, career, industrial, defense force, aviation, motor sport, or other is one of dedication, commitment and sacrifice – no matter what country we reside and work in. In the fire service we fight together against one common enemy – fire – no matter what country we come from, what uniform we wear or what language we speak.”

~ Lt JJ Edmondson, 1999

Let us honor and remember America’s fallen firefighters on Firefighters’ Day. Thank you to the hardworking men and women of the 40th District who put their lives on the line to keep us safe and help us in our times of need!
