International Firefighters' Day 4
International Firefighters' Day 4 : St. Florian: Saint Florian, the patron saint of Firefighters, is also another symbolic element to International Fire Fighters Day. St. Florian was a patron from Noricum, Rome in three hundred A. D. , who was said to be one of the first commanding fire fighters of an actual battalion. As legend states, St. Florian saved an entire village engulfed in flames using just a single bucket of water. Legend also states, because of this act St. Florian is known as the protector of those who have come in danger of fire. The duties St. Florian performed for his province are the same duties that fire fighters around the world perform everyday-with the same dedication and braveries. On May 4, St. Florian is globally recognized and honored and is also known as the day of St. Florian. Therefore, International Fire Fighters Day was chosen to be honored on May 4 in honor of the saint
