On September 14, Bulgarian firefighters celebrate their professional holiday. President Rumen Radev also takes part in the solemn ritual on the occasion of the professional holiday of the Bulgarian firefighters, which takes place in the yard of the General Directorate "Fire Safety and Protection of the Population" of the Ministry of Interior in Sofia. The date of September 14 was chosen in 1995 by a decision of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria, restoring the tradition set by the First Firefighters' Fair in 1905.
