As you drive around you may notice some of our fire stations, and potentially even businesses or houses, are lit up red this weekend.
May 1-5 is the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation annual recognition of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. We light up red to honor them and their families as we remember and respect the services they rendered on our behalf.
Please go to https://weekend.firehero.org/events/memorial-weekend/light-night-fallen-firefighters/ to learn more or even donate to this cause.
Check your local laws about recreational fires before you light one. If you do have a legal recreational fire, keep water close by and keep it under control.
