International Firefighters' Day is observed each year on 4th May.
The special day is marked to pay respect to those firefighting experts who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
On May 4, people wear a symbolic badge made from red and blue ribbons to pay their gratitude to all the martyred firefighters.
This day is being observed continuously since the year 1999 to mark and honor the sacrifices of firefighters.
For those who don’t know, both red and blue are the main elements of a firefighter’s work because red denotes fire and blue is symbolic of water.
It is celebrated by not only wearing the red and blue ribbons but also donating money to the charity that supports the medical treatment and wellbeing of retired and former firefighters.
