To Our Minnesota Fire Service Sisters and Brothers

To Our Minnesota Fire Service Sisters and Brothers:

Everyone at MnFIRE joins the entire state as we mourn the loss of Burnsville firefighter/paramedic Adam Finseth and police officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge in yesterday’s tragedy. During this difficult time, please remember that the full resources of the MnFIRE Assistance Program are available to all Minnesota firefighters and their families.

Confidential help – including connection to no-cost mental health care and peer support – is available anytime for any Minnesota firefighter and/or their family. Phone lines are answered 24/7 by Master’s-level trained mental health professionals who provide confidential support, guidance and mental health resources.

For immediate, 24/7 support call 888-784-6634.

Any member of a firefighter’s household can use these important Hometown Heroes Assistance Program (HHAP) resources. Each firefighter and/or their family members can access up to five counseling visits a year (additional support is available as needed). Firefighters are also matched with a member of MnFIRE’s team of trained peer supporters who know firsthand the difficulties firefighters face and are well-equipped to walk alongside a firefighter in need as they navigate their situation.

If you’d like to talk, we’re here.

For more information or for help, call 888-784-6634 or visit liveandworkwell.com, access code: MnFIRE.
