SUMMARY:Webinar: It Could Never Happen Here: Suicide and the Volunteer Fire Department
DESCRIPTION:We lose more firefighters each year to suicide than in the line of duty. Yet while every fire department’s calendar is full of training for safety on the fireground\, how much time is focused on mental and emotional health? In this free webinar\, Hersch Wilson\, volunteer firefighter/EMT with the Hondo Fire Department in Santa Fe County\, NM\, will discuss the impact of the firefighter’s world on mental and emotional health and the risk of suicide among first responders. Attendees will be given ideas and advice to help build a more resilient culture within their department and learn why ignoring mental health is not an option.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Staffing the Fire Station: A Data-Driven Approach to Recruiting Millennials
DESCRIPTION:Fire department leaders have a long history of following practices handed down through generations\, but when it comes to recruiting millennials\, a data-driven approach may prove to be more successful. Join Scott Wilber of the Bronson (MI) Fire Department for this free webinar that will offer suggestions for recruiting the next generation based on research about millennials and current practices in fire departments. Attendees will identify what motivates young adults\, what they find most rewarding about serving in the fire service\, and how this information can be used effectively to revitalize recruitment efforts.
