Powerful presentations from Kimberly Lightley and @IPSDIJohn to launch the 2026 #FRCE #MentalWellness Symposium:
🌟 Closing Out Day 1 🌟
The final presentations of Day 1 at the 2026 Mental Wellness Symposium left attendees with powerful messages of resilience, leadership, and hope.
🔥 Kimberly Lightley shared “Expectation, Action, Impact: Let Us Navigate Together,” drawing from her experience as a survivor of the 1994 South Canyon Fire on Storm King Mountain. Her presentation highlighted the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and transforming tragedy into meaningful action.
🚒 Chief John Oates presented “Moral Injury in the Fire Service,” exploring how experiences that conflict with our deeply held values can impact firefighters and how leaders play a critical role in both contributing to and helping resolve these challenges.
Two impactful presentations that sparked meaningful reflection and discussion as we wrapped up an outstanding first day.
Together we are Stronger 💪

What Firefighters Want in 2026 is live, and this year, it's all about training.
@FireRescue1 has launched its annual survey with a focused mission: understanding how firefighters train, whether that training is realistic and relevant, and how leadership supports it.

1️⃣ EN ROUTE: Diesel exhaust off-gassing gear in the cab
2️⃣ FIRE ATTACK: Incomplete SCBA use 🧵

7️⃣ STATION RETURN: Not showering immediately, gear in living quarters
⚠️ THE REALITY: Most focus on #2 and ignore the rest. Cancer doesn't care where the exposure happened.
