It stacks up
It's rarely one call. It's the hundreds that pile up over a career.
Fire Service
You answer every alarm.
You answer every alarm.
Let us answer yours.
Structure fires, extrications, cardiac arrests, and the calls that come home with you. Career or volunteer, firefighters carry a heavy load for years. We help you set some of it down, confidentially.
We get it
We know what the job leaves behind
Broken sleep
24- and 48-hour shifts and middle-of-the-night tones.
A tough culture
A crew that has your back on the fireground, but doesn't always talk about what happens after.
Line-of-duty losses
Losing a brother or sister and still having to show up for the next shift.
Health worries
Cancer and cardiac risks that sit in the back of your mind.
Home life
Missed holidays and a family that worries every time the tones drop.
Check in with yourself
Signs it might be time to talk
- Trouble sleeping on or off shift
- Snapping at the people you love
- Drinking more to come down
- Replaying calls you can't shake
- Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
- Feeling numb, or always on edge
You don't have to be in crisis to reach out. If a few of these sound familiar, that's reason enough.
