It is also a day in which current & past firefighters can be thanked for their contributions. International Firefighters’ Day is observed each year on 4th May. On this date you’re invited to remember past firefighters who have died while serving our community or dedicated their lives to protecting the safety of us all. At the same time, we can show our support & appreciation to the firefighters world wide who continue to protect us so well throughout the year. By proudly wearing & displaying blue & red ribbons pinned together or by participating in a memorial or recognition event, we can show our gratitude to firefighters everywhere. The IFFD ribbons are linked to colours symbolic of the main elements firefighters work with – red for fire and blue for water. These colours also are internationally recognized as representing emergency service. On the first Sunday in May, 5, at noon local time let us sound off our fire sirens for 30 seconds followed by a minute’s silence in memory of, and respect for, all firefighters who have been lost in the line of duty or passed on before us. 5 May 2024 - Frederica, Delaware The DelMar Antique Fire Apparatus Association will be holding their 1st Annual Spring Muster and Firematic Flea Market.
