Taken during one of our darkest years here in Australia, the 2009 Black Saturday Fires, where I saw ordinary people do extraordinary things! We all see bad things on the job, but we come back and stand up once more to answer the call. For my worldwide Firefighter family.

Today we saw how truly global International FireFighters' Day is. As May 4 dawned the posts from various countries started to be shared with us - photos of memorial services, memes specially created, media articles, videos and many, many tributes and thanks to both current and past firefighters.
Let's do a roll call and see which countries are represented in our community here. Feel free to tag and thank your local fire department / organisations.

Have you created an image (such as this excellent one from Volunteer Firefighters) to recognise International FireFighters' Day this year?
Please share them here so we can remember and acknowledge firefighters from different countries and backgrounds.
