This is an interesting post from Stephanie Conn, PhD, ABPP, Police/Public Safety Psychology! I love this dialogue because our reaction to trauma has a lot to do with not only what we experience, but what we bring to the table/what precedes it. To me, this explains why events lead to different reactions in different people and how some critical incidents impact us more based on what else is happening at the time. What is your experience? #criticalincidents #trauma #firstresponders

Helping the world understand wildfire resilience, prevention, and mitigation || Wildfire chemicals || Wildfire prevention technologies || Aerial firefighting & fleet development
After 30 years on the fire line, I've got stories that'll make your hair stand on end. But they're not just tall tales – they're hard-earned lessons. 6 unforgettable moments from the front lines: 1. Observing fire tornadoes up close and personal 2. Watching a century-old forests vanish in hours 3. Treating fellow fire fighters and civilians for burns 4. Battling a blaze in 100+-degree heat for 36 straight hours 5. Being a part of saving a small towns 6. Advising and helping to evacuate FFs from impending doom These experiences shaped me, haunted me, and drove me to innovate in fire management. Every firefighter carries these stories. They're why we do what we do. Want to hear more from the fire line? Let's connect and share the real, gritty truth about wildfire battles.
