Win a Streamlight Survivor Flashlight

MnFIRE training gives departments valuable information to keep their firefighters safe and protected from the three problems most commonly experienced by those in the fire service: cardiac, emotional trauma and cancer. If you participate in a MnFIRE Training session and complete a quick and easy six-question Course Evaluation Survey through a link we’ll provide at the end of the session, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a Streamlight Survivor flashlight (MSRP: $60).

These ultra-tough lights were built for firefighters and designed to see through smoke. Along with the chance to take home your very own Streamlight, your feedback will also help us make improvements to the courses. Each week, we’ll choose a new winner.

Congratulations to the following winners of our weekly drawing for a Streamlight Survivor flashlight:

Dan Bolton – Dover
Caleb Hovde – Leroy
Josh Jungers – Bird Island
Brandon Huls – Kandiyohi
Lily Sunnarborg – Fredenberg
Dustin Anderson – Victoria
Will Fischer – Virginia
Michael Horst – Ridgeway

We really appreciate the input and ideas from these winners and the hundreds of participants who have already filled out our survey!

Sign up your department for training here.

Thanks to a grant from the Fire Service Advisory Committee (FSAC), MnFIRE trainings, including general awareness training and deep dive sessions on cardiovascular disease, emotional wellness, and cancer, are being offered both virtually and in-person at no cost to Minnesota fire departments through June 30, 2021. Become MnFIRE Aware and potentially add your name to the list of winners above!

Happy #International

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.

We've got your back. Visit our website or call 888-784-6634. mnfireinitiative.com/peer-support/
