National Professional Firefighter
National Professional Firefighter 's Day, celebrated on September 11 , was established in 2008, having its first edition in Setúbal. The choice of this date is a tribute to the firefighters who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York in 2001. This day is intended to recognize and value the work of Portuguese professional firefighters, highlighting their courage, dedication and service to communities. The celebration includes a National Graduation, with the participation of firefighters from various corporations, and a tribute to firefighters who died in the line of duty, with the laying of a wreath. It is an occasion to recognize the heroic work of firefighters and their importance in protecting society.
