The month of June is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month, a crucial period dedicated to raising awareness about the mental health challenges faced by many, including firefighters. Our first responders are often exposed to traumatic events throughout their careers in the fire service. While this profession is both rewarding and challenging, there is a cost.
This awareness month aims to educate the public and fire departments about the importance of mental health resources, promoting a culture where seeking help is encouraged, and the stigma surrounding this topic is reduced. Resiliency training plays a crucial role in our members` long-term behavioral health. By fostering a supportive environment, we can ensure that firefighters receive the necessary care and support to manage their mental health effectively, ultimately enhancing their well-being and the safety of our communities.
We want all who fight this battle to know they are appreciated, valued, and supported and that their dedication has an immense impact on our community. 🩵

However, this tool can be life-saving in the event that it has to be used. Central Pierce Fire & Rescue, Graham Fire & Rescue, and Orting Valley Fire & Rescue crews have been training together on Wildland firefighting techniques and simulating the experience of battling large-scale Wildland fires.
