St. Florian
3rd Century Rome
St. Florian was a Roman officer stationed in Noricum in what is now Austria. He is said to have saved a town from burning by throwing a single bucket of water on the fire which was consuming it.
He was a closet Christian during the persecution of Diocletian. When ordered to put a group of Christians to death, he refused and revealed his own Christianity.
He was martyred.
Florian is the patron of fire fighters, as well as barrel-makers, brewers, chimney sweeps, and soap makers.
