May 4 -

International Firefighters' Day.....It was instituted after proposal emailed out across the world on January 4, 1999 due to the deaths of five firefighters in tragic circumstances in a wildfire in Australia.
May 4 used to be a traditional Firefighters' Day in many European countries, because it's the day of Saint Florian, patron saint of firefighters.
