“I have a lot of respect for our firefighters, who day in and day out risk their lives”, said Commissioner Diaz. “What better way to show our appreciation for their commitment and dedication to our community than by providing them with some scrumptious Blue Bell Ice Cream”. 

Firefighters enjoyed all sorts of Blue Bell ice cream flavors - Homemade Vanilla, Dutch Chocolate, Strawberry, Cookies n Cream, Rum Raisin, Pistachio Almond, Mango and Pecan Pralines n Cream.

International Firefighters’ Day is observed on May 4, after the tragic deaths of five firefighters fighting a large wild fire in Australia on December 2, 1998. International Firefighters Day also recognizes the lives lost, as well as honors fire fighters who risk their lives every day to save life and property.
