The IAFF Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery is a one-of-a-kind addiction treatment facility specializing in PTSD for IAFF members – and IAFF members only – who are struggling with addiction, PTSD other related behavioral health challenges to receive the help they need in taking the first steps toward recovery. It is a safe haven for members to talk with other members who have faced or overcome similar challenges.
Each year during the winter months, our members go through cold/ice water rescue training. Our apparatuses carry special suits and additional gear to rescue someone who has fallen through the ice and/or into cold water.
Please remember If you see someone who has fallen through the ice, call 911. DO NOT go onto the ice or into the water to rescue them. Also, keep pets on a leash around frozen bodies of water. ... See MoreSee Less
