International Firefighters Day is observed annually on May 4 internationally. 

Fire is a powerful force and has a reputation for being destructive, but there’s so much more to fire than that.

It gives energy in the form of heat, and light that is critical for our survival. However, when this element is out of control, it can be disastrous. It’s important to remember though, that fire is only as dangerous as the person who wields it.

International Firefighters Day raises awareness of the importance and safe use of fire.
