Fire officials says crews have no time “to catch their breath or lick their wounds.”
Firefighter Chuck Stark summed up life in the 2020s for crews at the Contra Costa Fire Protection District and throughout the state:
The beginning of May means the arrival of Wildfire Preparedness Week, once a chance to remind residents about the approaching fire season and their role in preventing blazes. This new reality has made the management of those wounds — many of which cannot be seen — more important and perhaps more difficult than ever, fire officials said. Regular exercise is a key part of the wellness regime for many.
“When I came through the academy, the academy made it a point to tell me that we have those teams, especially on the psychological end,” said firefighter Paul Ramirez, 25. “They preach it here. They make it known that at some point, you’re probably gonna have to talk to somebody.”
