The City of Florence has unveiled two new signs dedicated to the men and women of the Florence Police Department and the Florence Fire/EMS Department for their service to the community.
The signs are in conjunction with the painting of a “Thin Blue Line” in honor of the Police Department on Ewing Boulevard and a “Thin Red Line” in honor of the Fire/EMS Department on Ted Bushelman Boulevard.
The new sign for the police department reads, “The Thin Blue Line represents the police officer’s role of separating the good from the bad while creating order from chaos.”
The new sign for the fire department reads, “The Thin Red Line represents the courage firefighters find deep in their blood to conquer their fears to save and protect life and property.”
In a news release, the City of Florence thanked the men and women of the Florence Police Department and the Fire/EMS Department for showing up every day in uniform to serve the community.
The city implemented the signs on Nov. 1. The “Thin Blue Line” sign is located at 8100 Ewing Blvd. at the intersection with Veterans Memorial Dr., and the “Thin Red Line” is located at 81 Ted Bushelman Blvd.
