Save the Date: Firefighter Health Forum

MnFIRE is proud to present the inaugural Firefighter Health Forum, a gathering of cardiac, cancer and mental health experts and fire service leaders to share the latest information, in-depth research and techniques related to firefighter health. This new event will create local and national opportunities for collaboration.

On the heels of the Minnesota legislature passing the most comprehensive firefighter well-being legislation in the nation, the Hometown Heroes Assistance Program, comes this first-ever educational forum specifically focused on protecting and supporting Minnesota firefighter health.

Join us in April!

This important and exclusive two-day symposium will take place April 22-23, 2022, at the JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America. The forum will feature four distinct tracks for fire service leaders, medical providers, mental health providers and peer supporters.

Stay tuned for more details, including registration information, session topics and more. If you have any questions in the meantime, contact MnFIRE’s Director of Program Delivery DeeDee Jankovich at djankovich@mnfireinitiative.com or call 888-784-6634.

Shoutout to our late

Meet Doug, Haydn and Keegan Foote – a fire service family we are honored to showcase this Father's Day.

Doug is an Excelsior and St. Bonifacius firefighter who has been an exceptional champion of the MnFIRE mission over the years (Miles for MnFIRE, anyone?), and his sons Haydn and Keegan have carried on the family firefighting legacy.

"Serving with Haydn and Keegan has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life," said Doug. "Seeing one's son performing CPR on someone, fighting a fire, assisting with a personal injury or simply doing a lift assist is an awesome emotional experience. We have a tradition each Father's Day of serving at least one duty crew shift. It is humbling the day your son officially becomes your brother."

Happy Father's Day from all of us at MnFIRE. ❤️
