Firefighters are exposed to traumatic stress at particularly high rates, and getting help from someone who has lived similar experiences can make all the difference. That's why MnFIRE peer supporters are here to provide confidential support to Minnesota firefighters, while acting as a bridge to outside professional services.
By providing emotional support outside of the traditional medical system, peer support directly reduces the culture of silence in the fire service that has all too often resulted in worsening mental health and suicide.

The fire service turned out with its most powerful showing yet for Fire Service Day at the Capitol on Monday, April 27. Over 130 fire service members and friends, including MnFIRE President Mike Dobesh, Interim Executive Director DeeDee Jankovich and board members Scott Vadnais, Ed Hoffman and Jen Elleraas, met with legislators to discuss important issues that impact firefighters statewide, including MnFIRE’s role in administering the Hometown Heroes Assistance Program.
