Description

Those of us who have served or those who continue to serve as a First Responder, as a firefighter, law enforcement and EMS know that beneath the “glory” feeling as we respond, it often comes with a darker side. And, whether we admit it or not, the horrors and trauma we see, we tend, we transport, etc. take an emotional toll on us, whether we wish to admit that or not. When we were little kids and we loved ice cream, too much ice cream, no matter the flavor with take a toll with at least, your stomach! Now, change the result of eating too much ice cream as a kid to what we see everyday on the job. What? Do you think your hands and mind are oblivious to the trauma we see? Not sure if that is you? Try standing in front of a mirror and looking at that person reflected to you. Here is the “wicked” truth. That person knows every single detail of your life! You cannot hide your feelings, thoughts, etc. from the mirror image. So, cut the crap that you think you can control. Because if you do not admit it, it will take charge of you.

Our guest on this Ninth Season Premier of “5-Alarm Task Force,” is Chief (ret) Arjuna George. He knows about everything you see in the top paragraph. And he too, thought he could deal with everything, until he could not, any longer. 

On this episode, Chief George recounts part of what he went through over 24 years as a firefighter, line officer and a Chief. Some of you are dropping your mouth because you thought he was the best. However, he “saw the writing on the wall,” and now he needed help, both emotionally and professionally. And it was that admission that allowed him to grow beyond serving as a fire chief to the excellent trainer to help others who finds themselves in a similar situation. Listen to Chief George and see what you can glean from his experience and wisdom.
