Livingston Residents: Shine Your Light For Firefighters On May 4

Press release from the Livingston Township:

April 29, 2020

Nearly everyone knows a firefighter. They’re our family, friends, and co-workers. They respond to a stranger’s call for help without hesitation and serve with pride and compassion. On May 4, 2020, the world celebrates International Firefighters Day. This is a way to say thank you to our firefighters for all that they do to keep our communities safe.

For the first time, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) invites communities to celebrate firefighters by lighting their homes in red on May 4, 2020. To participate, change your porch light(s) and share your #ShineYourLight4Firefighters story on social media as a thank you to all of the firefighters who are on the front lines every day, keeping us safe. Lighting up in red on May 4th would be an additional symbol of support to all of those who are there 24-hours a day, 7-days a week to protect us. Please let the NFFF know if you will be participating by filling out their form.

In addition, on May 5, 2020, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation will be participating in Giving Tuesday Now (#Give2NFFFNow), a global day of giving, to support firefighters and their families.
