Powerful Video Exposes Reality of First Responder PTSD

WEB – This very powerful video offers an overview of firefighter post-traumatic stress and its sometimes devastating impacts, as well as efforts under way to help build a path toward healing for first responders.

The opening segment alone is worth a look as it features a former Granite Mountain Hotshot who suffered with survivor’s guilt and nearly committed suicide after the Yarnell Hill fire killed 13 of his brothers in 2013.
