International Firefighter’s Day is a special day that honors and celebrates the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day to ensure the safety of our communities. This day recognizes the sacrifices they make and the dedication they have to their profession. The City of Cape Town’s Fire & Rescue Service is a prime example of this commitment, consistently demonstrating its unwavering dedication to keeping residents safe.
