Firefighters have been playing a vital and essential role during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. While we’re all trying to stay safe by sheltering at home, our local firefighters are out of there on the front lines carrying out their duty.
That’s why we’re celebrating May 19th as #WeSayThanks Day to honor all those essential workers, like firefighters, who are still out there keeping us safe. Remember to wear purple–the combined blue and red colors of emergency service workers–on #WeSayThanks Day to show your support!
Of course, we can never thank our firefighters enough. Luckily, back at the firehouse, our heroes also supported by the lesser spotted firehouse cats! These felines help boost morale at the station, while also warding off uninvited vermin.
Here’s a tribute to five proud firehouse cats who are standing by our firefighters during the pandemic and giving them all the love they deserve.
1. Chanel In New York City, NY
This fine black feline is Chanel, or Chanel Number 5 as she’s formally known. She’s an official part of the crew at the FDNY’s Engine 24.
2. Jax In Blanchard, OK
3. Carlow In New York City, NY
4. Winston In High Point, NC
5. Scout In New York City, NY
