Sharing is caring!

The Newborn Firefighter Crochet Outfit Pattern is one of my personal favorites! I adore the men and women who serve our community as firefighters. And this outfit is adorable for newborns. This set includes instructions for the hat, and boots, and also includes the diaper cover, shorts, and skirt with suspenders! If cute little ones dressed up is your thing, also check out the Free Elephant Baby Crochet Pattern or the Newborn Chef Crochet Outfit Pattern.

What is International Firefighter Day?

May 4th is recognized as International Firefighters' day. This is a day where we honor the sacrifices firefighters make to keep their communities safe. It's also a day to assist the families of fallen firefighters and prevent firefighter injuries and death. Do you know a community member you could do an act of kindness for?

We all know how critical firefighters are all over the world and how much they impact our local community. So be sure to offer a friendly wave, buy their next meal, and pull over when driving to make space for them to respond to calls.
