Each year, Georgia sets aside the first Tuesday of February to honor the brave men and women who serve as firefighters across our state. Firefighters Recognition Day is a time to acknowledge their dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting our communities.

 

We are pleased to share the official proclamations for Firefighters Recognition Day 2025:

These proclamations continue Georgia’s longstanding tradition of recognizing and supporting our firefighters. On February 4, 2025, we encourage everyone to take a moment to thank the firefighters in your communities for their dedication and service.

 

Thank you for being part of this important annual recognition.
