Sainte-Barbe is celebrated every December 4. Patron saint of firefighters, she is their protector. Also, during this period, each rescue center organizes a ceremony in his honor, an event marked by festivities and conviviality. The opportunity also in Saint-Martin to award several medals to the firefighters.
Every December 4 is therefore an opportunity to honor the firefighters of Saint-Martin but also to show them the support and recognition of elected officials and the population. Above all, it allows us to salute their commitment, whether they are professionals or volunteers, and to underline the values of altruism, self-sacrifice, fraternity and solidarity that they carry on a daily basis in the exercise of their missions.
This year, the celebration took place on Saturday, December 9 at the Savane fire station. Several medals were presented to the firefighters by the Secretary General, Sub-Prefect Fabien Sese, President Louis Mussington and Lieutenant-Colonel Cléo Gumbs.
