Therapy Dogs Distract Wildfire Crews From Stress

Fighting fire is already challenging enough as a fireman. It’s even more difficult when we’re talking about massive infernos like wildfires. Fortunately, the crews who’ve been keeping the California fires at bay are receiving massive emotional and mental health support.

Although not in the form of crowds cheering from the streets, the firefighters receive their spiritual boost as they were graced by the presence of therapy dogs. Kevin Brown, a crewmember that has been on the frontline for 11 days said, “The moment we pull into the SCU base camp, Micah was waiting for us. It was the perfect thing that we needed to get us that disconnect from all of that hard work and revamp us before we were about to start a whole ‘nother level of work on a brand new fire.”
