Program areas at Minnesota Firefighter Initiative
Awareness education continues to be the most significant area of achievement for mnfire. Our goal is to educate all of the 21,500 firefighters in Minnesota about the dangers they face from cardiac, cancer and emotional trauma. We strive to deliver annual mnfire awareness training for every Minnesota Firefighter. Changing the current culture in the Minnesota fire service is integral to long-term reduction of the incidences of cancer.
Another area of emphasis for mnfire is our Firefighter peer support program and professional counseling referrals. We have 3 intake specialists that respond to help line calls 24/7/365. Calls are triaged and referred to one of our 80 peer cancer, cardiac and emotional trauma supporters. The program includes a 24/7/365 hotline for intake and triage, aligning peer support resources and client follow up. Mnfire also connects firefighters in crisis with trained professional counselors.
