The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation is requesting support from communities by requesting participation in thanking firefighters for their service on May 4, 2020, in recognition of International Firefighters’ Day by placing a red light bulb on their porches. Jenkintown Borough would like to share the information below provided by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation with an explanation of the event.
Nearly everyone knows a firefighter. They’re our family, friends, and co-workers. They respond to a stranger’s call for help without hesitation and serve with pride and compassion. On May 4, 2020, the world celebrates International Firefighters Day. This is a way to say thank you to our firefighters for all that they do to keep our communities safe.
For the first time, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) invites communities to celebrate firefighters by lighting their homes in “red” on May 4, 2020. We ask that you change your porch light(s) and share your #ShineYourLight4Firefighters story with us on social media as a thank you to all of the firefighters who are on the front lines every day, keeping us safe. Lighting up in “red” on May 4th would be an additional symbol of support to all of those who are there 24-hours a day, 7-days a week to protect us. Please let us know if you will be participating by filling out our form at https://www.firehero.org/international-firefighters-day/shine-your-light-for-firefighters/.
Also, on May 5, 2020, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation will be participating in Giving Tuesday Now. Please help the NFFF support firefighters and their families on May 5th for #Give2NFFFNow, a global day of giving.
