FIREFIGHTERS DAY

Today we celebrate and recognize the hard work and sacrifice our firefighters do to keep us safe from the ravages of fire.  This special day is celebrated on the 4th of May because this is, also, St. Florian Day.

Legend says St. Florian Lived in Noricum, Rome in 300 A.D. and he was one of the first, in history, to lead a battalion of firefighters. 

The story goes that he saved an entire village from being engulfed in flames with just a single bucket of water.  I'm guessing it was a very LARGE bucket.
