Often the first on scene during an emergency, our firefighters risk their lives every single day in the name of protecting our communities. The selflessness and sacrifices of these brave men and women cannot be understated.
To honor these brave men and women and in observance of National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Day, I hereby direct the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout the State of Florida from sunrise to sunset on Sunday, October 6, 2019.
