This is a topic that was once unheard of, but now is receiving the attention it deserves. There is a price for choosing the profession we are in. That price is different for each one of us, some pay a higher price than others. Perhaps we can make this discussion a place to post services that can help the members of this profession deal with the personal challenges of being a firefighter.

Thanks for bringing this topic back up @DirtTrower .

Even though it may feel like it you are not alone

I was listening to Kern county fire traffic during french fire I-A and I caught the traffic for an unrelated medical call that hit home on a personal level, I myself have thought about it. Talking about how you feel mentally is a hard thing to do. Remember you’re not alone. If you need someone to talk to there’s plenty of us out there willing to listen. https://gacc.nifc.gov/cism/suicide.html
