Today we celebrate Victoria’s strong network of firefighters. 🚒👩🏽‍🚒🔥International Firefighters' Day is linked to the day of St Florian, patron saint of firefighters and one of the first commanders of the Roman Empire’s firefighting squad. International Firefighters' Day was started in 1999 following the death of five CFA firefighters in Linton in 1998.Universally, it’s now a day where we show our gratitude to firefighters for the daily sacrifices they make to protect life and property. Please join us in taking a moment to reflect on the contributions made by our firefighters.Find out more: www.firefightersday.org/ ... See MoreSee Less
