Tomorrow, May 4th is International Firefighters Day. On this day, we recognize the courage, sacrifice, and the deep partnership firefighters share with the burn care community. International Firefighters' Day was established in 1999 by Australian firefighter Lieutenant JJ Edmonson to honor five colleagues who died in the line of duty. The date, May 4, was chosen in recognition of St. Florian, the patron saint of firefighters. The red and blue ribbon, symbolizing fire and water, is now worn worldwide in tribute. We will be sharing images from past meetings and collaborations with our FF colleagues in Seattle. Please return to view these important times from our past.

An educational team from UW Burn Center-ANMC (Anchorage)-Parkland Burn Center (Dallas) traveled to Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska to teach ABLS this past week. Pictured here from L to R are Sam Mandell (Dallas), Maria Paulsen (UW), Barclay Stewart (UW), Gretchen Carrougher (UW), Elisha Brownson (ANMC), and Carolyn Blayney (UW). We are standing on the frozen ocean at a wind chill of -24 degrees. Also featured is one of the incredible sunsets we experienced. It was a wonderful experience meeting many clinicians and first responders in this remote part of North America.
