The best breed of dog is a rescue dog, they are life savers by Asha Connie Kells Via Flickr: I've made this picture to commemorate Firefighter's day on the 4th May. On December 2, 1998, firefighters of the Geelong West Fire Brigade responded to a call for aid from Linton, in the Australian state of Victoria. A sudden change of wind direction led to the death in a bushfire of five Geelong West firefighters: Garry Vredeveldt, Chris Evans, Stuart Davidson, Jason Thomas, and Matthew Armstrong. This incident led to the proposal for an International Firefighter's Day. Saint Florian, regarded in the Catholic Church as the patron saint of firefighters is another symbol of International Firefighters' Day. The saint's day (as observed in the Catholic Church) of St. Florian is 4 May, hence International Firefighters' Day is also observed on May 4th.

Conservatives will praise us Firefighter's for being American Heroes, but when it comes to the rights over our bodies, they disagree. More than 1/5 of American Firefighter's are women - We're not just your heroes, we're human too, and we deserve better.

Hello there! I wanted to create this page to bring out the voices of minority and LGBT Firefighter's everywhere. It's a rough world out there and we often feel separated and surrounded by racist and conservative Firefighter's of "The old days." But we are out there and I promise you're not alone. Feel free to ask questions I don't mind! I'll start a little tag "ffblmlgbt".
