Today is National First Responders Day.

To the men and women of the Denton Police Department and our own Denton Fire Department: thank you.

You show up on people’s worst days, at 3 a.m., on holidays, in the heat and the cold, and you don’t get to choose the call. You run toward what everyone else is running from, and then you come back and do it again the next shift.

Behind every badge and every helmet is a family that sacrifices too: missed dinners, empty seats at games, and the worry that comes with every shift. We see you and we’re grateful.

From the members of the Denton Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 1291: to our brothers and sisters in blue, thank you for having our backs. We’ll always have yours.
