It is no secret that behavioral health has become an important topic, not just in the fire service, but for all arms of first responders. We are losing far too many of our Brothers and Sisters to their own hands, and we cannot help but wonder why!If you are a first responder, no one has to tell you how difficult, dangerous and rewarding these jobs can be. Nevertheless, they still exact a heavy toll, even on those who refuse to admit it. We see crap that we would not want any civilian to see, yet we often see it daily. And whether you are honest enough to admit it or not, they do affect us. My guest, Dr. Mynda Ohs was herself a first responder until she contracted a serious disease from a patient. After an extensive recuperation, she tried to return to her EMS work, but did not have the physical ability to do so. Turning the proverbial “lemon into lemonade,” she went back to school and earned her PhD in counseling. Today, she works with a number of agencies as a counselor for first responders. And she has published two books:1.    “Fully Involved Life” (2019) - https://a.co/d/1J33DuC2. “When the Calls Stop” (2021) - https://a.co/d/jfJ1OKXLook, we have a lot to deal with. Sometimes, we can just talk it out with each other. But each of us has to be aware that we might just need some extra help to get past that which is bothering us. Every first responder wants to give of himself/herself to the community and people they serve. And we also have to be smart and brave enough to know when we need help. We are listening.Please help us to help our Brothers and Sisters in dire need! Over 90% of our disbursed funds have been donated to families of firefighters who have made the Ultimate Sacrifice.

Chief Davis details split-second decisions, equipment used, and why firefighters had to lay approximately 2,500 feet of large diameter hose.Thank you to our public safety and community partners.

Joined by one of the best, Mark VonAppen of Fully Involved.

E185 - Fully Involved Structure Fire. Justification for FR, and Busting Out Our Soft Entry Skills This week welcomed Carl back yet again and chatted about yet another Structure Fire. We don't like using the term “fully involved” , but this was a fully involved , defensive fire but we still found lots to teach and learn as we looked after exposures. We went on to discuss an FR call , and looking back at it we see the full justification of why we have made the move to run medical calls. On that, we had a late night call where we got to bust out our Soft Entry Skills. Todd went on to talk us through an over embankment scenario they ran last week to wrap up the podcast . As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires. WHAT WE DO We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! WHY WE SHARE Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It's during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it's needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

ON THIS EPISODE:   Health & Wellness Officer Captain Layne Hilton and Clinical Operations Director Darren Elkins of Blomquist Hale are back in the studio to discuss strengthening relationships at home.We talk about things shared between happy couples, and adjustments that can be made to strengthen a relationship that's struggling.How do you deal with the stress in your life? If you don't have an answer to that question... you may want to take action beyond listening to this podcast.The way we take care of ourselves directly impacts our intimate relationships, so it's important to look at the ways we self-soothe to manage our daily stressors.Throughout the show, Layne recommends listening to Dr. Brené Brown's, The Power of Vulnerability.  Brown provides information on the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness, and reveals how it is actually our most accurate measure of courage.If you're looking for someone to talk to, reach out to Blomquist Hale, Unified Fire's EAP provider.

This week we update the recent flooding that hit west coast BC and how that has impacted the rest of the Province .

Since we started this podcast our goal has always been to relate to you as fire-wives. What we realized is tons of you wear many hats...and LOTS of you are business owners. Being a business owner/entrepreneur is quite challenging. But just like being a fire wife is unique, business ownership as a fire wife is it’s own special challenge. It is juggling + working in the nooks and crannies. It’s being able to work  + be home with your kids. It’s having a plan & a back up plan to your plan. But above all...it’s having a belief in yourself & your product. We sat down with our fire wife friend and successful owner of Compassion Rocks Jewelry, Carey Rocha, to talk about what it’s like. Her beautiful stone business came out of a personal attack that is now serving to give back to victims of crime. Her stunning creations have become a staple in our community and her business is thriving!! If you are a business owner, thinking of starting a business, or just want to hear a beautiful story...this episode is for you! —————————————————— The first 1/2hour we hear all about Carey and her business. The second 1/2hour we talk about the nitty gritty of business ownership. #podcast #firewife #firelife #standingbesideourheroes #firefamily #firecommunity #firespouse #bossbabe #joinus #smallbusiness #community #jewlery https://www.facebook.com/standingbesideourheroes/ http://instagram.com/standing.beside.heroes.podcast Giveaway Items: Hydration beauty glow IV bag from @hmahydrationsuite, botox, and dermaplaning with a jelly mask from @jamienursepractitioner of hospitality medical aesthetics salon.

There are lots of books about management styles available, but for my money, the ones written by firefighters are the best. They're specific. They're full of real-world examples. And they aren't just page after page of the author's latest catchphrases. For example, there's “Fully Involved Leadership,” the new book by Chief Gary Ludwig. It explains concepts that any member of the fire service can use to become a strong leader… from how to keep your emotions under control in stressful situations to good decision-making. And Gary does it by storytelling. That's the best way to make concepts clear. Gary has four decades of experience in the fire service. He's currently chief of the Champaign, Illinois fire department. He's responded to an estimated 25,000 fire, rescue and EMS calls during his career. Support this podcast

(one of many kitschy firehouse references), which to customers means, automatically topped with a whole bunch of stuff, including lettuce, tomato, mustard, and a generous helping of mayo.  Fully Involved is also an apt description for Firehouse Subs Chief Executive Officer, Don Fox, a life-long over-achiever in both the culinary and franchising sectors.  Today, Don Fox serves as our First Responder and helps us learn about the magic of this incredible brand, started by REAL first responders and staying true to core values, through explosive growth.

Hawthorne Heights is a band that we both really enjoy for their ever infectious melodies, their meaningful concepts, and for their overall great sound. The band has been around for more than 14 years now and they just released their sixth full-length record titled 'Bad Frequencies'. How does this album stack up to their back catalog? Is it an album that needs to be played on full volume outside of your window with your radio? Or is it time for the band to head back and stay in Ohio (which is apparently for lovers, did you know)? Find out in our track-by-track review this week.Also discussed this week, Miss Fortune will be releasing a new song in the coming weeks; Mayday Parade released a single and announced the release date for their next record; The 1975 are actively going the viral marketing route in potentially announcing their next record; A Lot Like Birds kicked the hornet's nest on social media; we share our thoughts on new albums by Royal Coda and (friend of the show) Fully Involved; and at the end of the episode, Mike shares his full thoughts on Avengers: Infinity War with Adam.

    The Double Edge Sword of Loyalty There are bad leaders out there, no doubt   “Management reserves the right to manage poorly”  What you should expect: Fair & consistent treatment   Genuine concern for your wellbeing & development   The tools & support you need to do your job   To be challenged and to be made to demonstrate your proficiency   What your leaders should expect For you to do your job (Mark Von Alpen Fully Involved)   For you to be engaged in the organization   For you to respect our craft & our profession   For you to respect the right of the leader to make decisions   To ask questions So when the leaders are not “loyal” ask Why do I think that?   Exactly what did they do to make me say that?   Can I help to make things better?   How are my skills, it is easy to be critic in the recliner.   Link to Mark Von Appen and Fully Involved
