Did you know the 1st full week in March is Volunteer Firefighter's week in Tennessee!
Thank you to all of our MANY volunteer Firefighters in Tennessee!
Each year, the first full week in March is observed in Tennessee as Volunteer Firefighters Week to honor and recognize volunteer firefighters for their courageous and dedicated service.
Starting today (March 1) through Saturday (March 7), Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) and the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office (SFMO) honor the bravery, dedication, and sacrifices of Tennessee’s volunteer firefighters.
“Volunteer fire departments are the backbone of fire safety in our communities and embody the Volunteer State’s spirit, receiving little to no compensation in order to help protect their neighbors,” said TDCI Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Carter Lawrence. “This week, I salute Tennessee's volunteer firefighters for their work, and I believe that Tennessee’s volunteer firefighters should be honored for their sacrifices every day.”
Thank you, volunteer firefighters!
