As always, I’d love your feedback!
Life is not about happiness . . .
Firefighting is sometimes a family business. Ty has been a volunteer and career firefighter for 32 years, his daughter Kelly for 8 years, and his dad. . . a volunteer for over, wait for it, 60 years!
This is Jeff Dill, sportscaster, truck driver, turned Firefighter-Paramedic. Jeff is also the founder of the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance.
This is Daniel Krahn, Captain, paramedic (and RN!) with the Mesa, AZ Fire department. Daniel started out as a volunteer, has since retired and now is dedicating his time to helping firefighters understand and cope with PTSD.
