I am so incredibly grateful for our amazing divers and fireboat crews. They are genuinely some of the best people in the fire service and I’m not just saying that because I’m biased. They are talented, driven, and constantly improving their craft to ensure that they are ready. ❤️‍🩹

Not wanting to enrage a person who has power over you is very normal. You don't have to scream loudly "WHY ARE YOU HARASSING ME, YOU CREEP?" to have a valid case of sexual harassment. Our legal focus will on their transgression, not your reaction.

This 4th, we remember Nick Robidart. Nick was a firefighter in NV who passed away at 44 from occupational cancer on July 5, 2023. In the words of his friends and family, “he was one of the good ones.” May his family always remember him smiling like this.

It thrives because of silence and shadows. It hides in locker rooms. It lives in offhand comments that many won’t catch, and sometimes in the ways we assign shifts. But mostly, sexual harassment in the fire service exists in the space where nobody wants to talk about it:
