Volunteer Firefighters Recognition Day: August 18

August 18, 2026

Today is Volunteer Firefighters Recognition Day, and we want to thank all of those who sacrifice their free time to help others. 

Volunteer Firefighters Recognition Day was proclaimed in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan. The day is dedicated to recognizing the millions of people all across the United States who serve their communities while balancing the duties of their every day life. 

To our volunteers, thank you. 

We are forever grateful for your service and dedication to the fire service and your communities.
