National First Responders Day, observed on October 28th, honors the courageous men and women who dedicate their lives to swiftly responding when emergencies arise. These heroes—from firefighters and police officers to paramedics and emergency medical technicians—put themselves in harm's way to protect and save others. Their work is not only perilous but also requires immense skill, resilience, and compassion. Even if you haven't personally experienced an emergency, it's easy to recognize and appreciate the critical and challenging roles they play in ensuring our safety and well-being. On this day, we express our gratitude for their unwavering commitment and bravery, acknowledging the profound impact they have on our communities.
Thank you to the the Darien-Woodridge Fire Protection Stations 89 & 90, Darien Police Department, Woodridge Police Department and DuPage County Sheriff's office for being CCSD66's First Responders.
