⏰ Reminder: Calm app updates
We are transitioning from the Calm app to the Calm Health app to provide a more comprehensive experience. Minnesota firefighter access to the Calm app will end on October 1, 2026, and you will need to register for a new Calm Health account.
Available through MnFIRE at no cost to Minnesota firefighters and their families, Calm Health offers much of the same mindfulness content as the Calm app – such as meditations, Sleep Stories, music/soundscapes and daily exercises – along with evidence-based programs written by psychologists to support your mental and physical well-being.
Visit mnfireinitiative.com/hhap for details on how to access this app at no cost to you!

In case you missed it – MnFIRE benefits are now available after leaving the fire service! Minnesota firefighters who leave or retire from the fire service on or after August 1, 2026 are eligible to extend their Hometown Heroes Assistance Program benefits directly through the MnFIRE Benefits Extension Program.
If your last day on the job as a firefighter is approaching, you only have a 45-day window from your last date of service to extend your MnFIRE benefits! Thank you KIMT News 3 for helping us spread the word:
