Honoring our 9-1-1 heroes through art

Every year on October 28, National First Responders Day gives us a moment to pause and recognize the people who step forward when others are in need. Firefighters, police officers, paramedics and 9-1-1 telecommunicators are often the first connection in an emergency. They are the calm voice, the steady guide and the critical link between a developing crisis and the administration of help.
