Not A Job, A Calling: Inside the Mind Of A First Responder

Firefighters are seen as some of the strongest, most selfless people in society — willingly risking their lives and enduring traumatic events to save others. With their courage and bravery on constant display, it becomes easy to assume these first responders are invincible. While they are heroes, they need our support just as much as we need theirs.   Former firefighter paramedic and author of 'Overcoming Tuesday: A First Responder's Tale of Healing and Resiliency,' Jim Burneka opens up about the physical and mental toll that comes after years of fighting fires, and why his experience and own mental health journey led him to start Firefighter Cancer Consultants, an organization focusing on firefighter wellness and cancer awareness.   Follow Benjamin on X: @BenjaminHallFNC Learn more about your ad choices.
