Malawi has joined the global community in commemorating International Firefighters’ Day (IFFD), observed annually on May 4.
The day recognizes and honours the sacrifices firefighters make to protect lives, property, and the environment.
The commemoration in Blantyre was marked by a march from Limbe to Kamuzu Stadium, where firefighters conducted public demonstrations on fire prevention and emergency response.
This event aimed to raise awareness about the importance of fire safety and the critical role firefighters play in saving lives.
The event also paid tribute to both current and former firefighters for their dedication and service to the nation.
Their bravery and selflessness deserve recognition and appreciation, serving as a reminder of the importance of supporting those who risk their lives to protect others.
