For some, Labor Day is a holiday to enjoy the day off from work.
For others, it's business as usual.
Many people may be enjoying a cookout, some time at the lake, or just some quiet time, but firefighters around the Wabash Valley are hard at work.
Ian Kull has worked at the Terre Haute Fire Department for 2 1/2 years.
He's working this Labor Day, just like many other men and women across the Wabash Valley.
"Whether it be Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, any of the holidays. All the major holidays, you know some businesses take the day off. Public safety never takes rests. We never take the day off," said Kull.
Even though these first responders are away from their families on these days, it's something they know must be done.
"24/7, 365. We're here everyday to provide a service and that's what we love to do and that's why we're here," said Kull.
Even if they are working a holiday, these men and women work together to see their families when possible.
