About this listen

Firefighting and Mental Health. We are bringing some conversation that is short, sweet, and to the point. We want to talk about mental health and how it relates to the profession we love. It will all be centered around these core values: Faith, Family, Service, and Mindset. We want to capture how mental health impacts our daily at the firehouse and on our days off. Life and the job are good, but we know they both throw things our way that we never expected. Our goal is to generate conversation that you can take with you and relate to. And no matter where you find yourself, we want to encourage you to KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

    Refined By The Fire Service
    Feb 20 2025

    In this episode, Blake and Charlie talk about being refined by the fire service. How you enter, versus where you are, versus where you end up. There are some great aspects of it, but you have to be careful of some of the negative potentials, too. They cover leadership, mentorship, changes they've seen in themselves, and much more in this episode.

    This episode we talk about Blake's on the job accident and what that looks like from both his perspective and Charlie's perspective. We also talk about mindset, what mental health issues really are (not just call related trauma), and expressing what it looks like to pour into others on and off the job. We hope you enjoy it!
