BKCN firefighters honoured on International Firefighters Day
Sunday 4 May marks not only National Rememberance Day, but also International Firefighters Day. On this day, fire departments around the world pause to reflect on the vital work firefighters do each day and the risks they take endangering their own lives to ensure public safety.
In honour of this day there will be a short parade with sirens and flashing lights between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM with the fire engines of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba in the streets of each respective island. This of course is done taking all activities surrounding Remembrance Day into account.
Being a firefighter is no easy task. In situations of danger where others run away, firefighters run towards it. BKCN would like to thank its firefighters for serving and protecting the community 24/7.
If you see our heroes, take a moment to celebrate Firefighters Day with them and show your appreciation for their work. Happy Firefighters Day!
