Home World News International Firefighters' Day History and significance of occasion honouring contributing of firefighting experts. Representational image. History and significance The International Firefighters' Day was established following a tragic incident that took place in Australia's Linton Town. They are tasked with running towards dangers instead of away from it to rescue people from burning buildings and vehicles and are well trained to put out a fire.
The day also pays respects to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. On this day, people express their gratitude towards firefighters by wearing a symbolic red and blue ribbon badge. The colour red colour symbolises fire while blue is for water.
Born out of a tragic loss of five firefighters in a wildfire in Victoria, Australia, it was a way to honor their lives and the sacrifice that firefighters are willing to make for you and me on a daily basis.
We invite communities, businesses, fire departments, and media to join us again in in celebrating and highlighting the great work firefighters do every day, and to thank them for all that they do to keep us safe. 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.
