First responders, no matter the role, are some of the truly unsung heroes in our cities and neighborhoods. Whether you’re putting your own lives on the line, providing emergency support or any of the other countless tasks associated with the job, each role is crucial in maintaining a safe place to live and work. However, while being a first responder is a demanding (and rewarding) career, the long hours, the possibility of injuries and the physical and mental traumas that can occur on the job can make it difficult to separate your work life from your personal life.
