The IAFC, NFFF and NVFC encourages the fire service to familiarize themselves with the credible and valuable resources that are available to assist firefighters and their families who may be coping with depression or thoughts of suicide.
If you could save a firefighter from a line-of-duty death, wouldn't you? If you could stop a fire crew from an intersection accident, wouldn't you? If you knew your closest firefighter friend was going to have a heart attack performing fire attack, search and rescue, or while performing overhaul, would you let it happen? Of course you wouldn't.
As I read an email from a colleague the other day, I thought back to when I first came into the fire service. I recalled the equipment and practices I was introduced to and how the fire service has changed since then.
Fire Dept. Safety Officers Association (FDSOA) has collaborated with the Public Safety Education Network to deliver an online Incident Safety Officer course.
Everyone Goes Home® is a national program by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to prevent line-of-duty deaths and injuries. In March 2004, a Firefighter Life Safety Summit was held to address the need for change within the fire service. At this summit, the 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives were created and a program was born to ensure that Everyone Goes Home®.
