Each year, Firefighters Recognition Day at the Georgia State Capitol represents more than ceremony — it is a strategic opportunity for advocacy, unity, and legislative progress. For members of the Georgia State Firefighters Association (GSFFA), the day serves as a direct bridge between the fire service and the policymakers who shape the laws governing our profession.
Held annually the first Tuesday in February during the legislative session in Atlanta, Firefighters Recognition Day brings together career combination and volunteer firefighters from across the state to stand visibly and collectively in support of Georgia’s public safety priorities. While the public often sees the group photos and ceremonial resolutions, the deeper purpose lies in engagement, education, and influence.
Recognition Through Resolution
Each year, the Georgia General Assembly adopts formal reso-
Legislation at Recognition Day: A Defining Moment Past President Gary Clark
lutions honoring the service, sacrifice, and professionalism of Georgia’s firefighters. These resolutions are read in both the House and Senate chambers, publicly acknowledging the essential role firefighters play in safeguarding communities across urban, suburban, and rural areas.
Though symbolic in nature, these proclamations reinforce a powerful message: the fire service remains a respected and indispensable pillar of Georgia’s public safety infrastructure.
Policy: Why Legislative Presence Matters
Firefighters Recognition Day is also one of the most important advocacy days of the year for the GSFFA. Face-to-face conversations with legislators allow members to:
● Explain operational challenges facing departments.
● Advocate for firefighter health and safety protections.
● Discuss funding needs and benefit programs.
● Provide real-world insight into how legislation affects emergency response.
When firefighters speak directly with lawmakers, policy becomes personal. Legislators hear firsthand about recruitment challenges in volunteer departments, increasing call volumes, equipment costs, cancer risks, and the mental health realities of the job.
Over recent years, several critical legislative efforts have shaped the fire service landscape in Georgia.
Firefighter Cancer Benefits
Georgia has taken significant steps to address occupational cancer risks among firefighters. The passage of House Bill 146 established mandatory cancer insurance coverage for firefighters statewide, requiring departments to provide critical illness and disability benefits. This landmark legislation recognized what the
fire service has long known: exposure-related cancer is a serious occupational hazard. Recognition Day continues to serve as a platform to protect, refine, and ensure proper implementation of these benefits.
Mental Health and Wellness
As awareness grows regarding PTSD and cumulative trauma exposure, policymakers are increasingly attentive to behavioral health support for first responders. Advocacy efforts continue to encourage expanded mental health resources and confidentiality protections for those seeking care
Recruitment and Retention
Volunteer departments — especially in rural communities — face ongoing recruitment and retention challenges. This years Legislative discussions centered on Senate Bill 143 Retirement bill centered on retirment considerations, and support mechanisms that make service sustainable for the next generation of firefighters.
During this year‘s legislation session, Senate subcommittee voted on support of Senate bill 143, which would allow Georgia firefighters eligible to retire and draw their Georgia state firefighters, pension and continue to work after meeting the rule of 80. Meaning years of service and age totaling 80. (example 30 years of service 50 years of age equals 80), Georgia State
Past President (continued)
firefighters Association has been pursuing this legislation for four years. With the actuaries from the pension fund coming back not detrimental to the fund. This was an action that can be taken legislative to improve retention of our retirement age firefighters who are still willing to continue to work in the fire service with their experience and knowledge and be allowed to draw their pension the same as teachers and police officers. Now the bill will be sent to the Senate floor for a legislative vote then hopefully pass over to the house for the same supportive measures and a favorable pass vote and sending this legislation on to the governor for his signature.
Unity Across Georgia
Perhaps the most powerful element of Firefighters Recognition Day is visibility. When firefighters from every corner of the state gather at the Capitol — standing shoulderto-shoulder in uniform — it sends a unified message about professionalism, dedication, and statewide solidarity.
For the GSFFA, this unity strengthens legislative credibility. Lawmakers recognize not just individual departments, but a coordinated, informed, and engaged statewide association committed to improving public safety outcomes.
A Call to Continued Engagement
Recognition Day is not the end of legislative advocacy — it is the beginning of sustained dialogue. The relationships built during this event create channels for ongoing communication throughout the session and beyond.
For members of the Georgia State Firefighters Association, participation is both an honor and a responsibility. Our presence at the Capitol ensures that decisions affecting firefighter health, safety, and benefits are informed by those who live the realities of the profession every day.
Conclusion
Firefighters Recognition Day in Georgia represents the intersection of appreciation and action. While resolutions honor our service, legislation protects our future. Through active engagement, informed advocacy, and unified representation, the Georgia fire service continues to shape policies that strengthen departments and safeguard the communities we proudly serve.
For the GSFFA, recognition is not only about being seen — it is about being heard.
Thank You for your continued support of Your GSFF Association.
Nearly three decades ago, I was approached with an opportunity that would shape the course of my life: To become a volunteer firefighter in the south end of the county, in a community known as Reichertville. At the time, I joined for what I believed were simple reasons. I was young, energized, and drawn to the adrenaline that came with emergency response. I could not have known then that I was stepping into something far greater than excitement or action — I was stepping into a calling.
After completing my initial training and earning my Mod. 3 firefighter certifications, I began serving as a volunteer firefighter. During that time, I had the privilege of participating in
1st Vice President Craig Dukes Why Do You Serve?
the first-ever First Responder program in Thomas County. The program was designed to provide early medical response to residents in the county’s more rural areas, where immediate access to care was often limited. Recognizing the importance of this mission, I enrolled in EMT school and went on to earn my EMT-I certification.
Not long after, I received a phone call from the administrative assistant at Thomas County Emergency Services Administration (ESA) offering me a full-time position with the fire department. At that point in my life, the farm I had been managing was failing. As one chapter closed, another opened. I accepted the position, unaware of how pro-
foundly it would change me. From my first day as a career firefighter, I realized the job was not about adrenaline — though the intensity and urgency of emergency response remain to this day. What stood out most was the brotherhood and sisterhood within the fire service. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I found myself welcomed into a community of like-minded individuals bound together by a shared commitment to serve. The camaraderie, trust, and loyalty were immediate and enduring.
Following the dissolution of ESA, I was fortunate to be offered a position with Thomasville Fire Rescue. Initially, the move represented stability — a means to provide health
insurance for my family and ensure food on the table. It was also a cultural shift and a new professional chapter. Over time, however, I returned to the deeper truth that had first drawn me in: The profound sense of belonging and purpose within the fire service.
As my career progressed and my knowledge expanded, what began as a job became a vocation. I fell in love with the fire service — not simply for the high-stakes emergencies, but for what it represents. The profession continues to evolve, and we must evolve with it. Training, technology, and tactics change, but the core mission remains constant: service to others.
While structure fires and cardiac arrests demand speed, precision, and unwavering focus to protect life and property — including our own — those moments, as critical as they are, do not fully define service. To me, serving the community is often found in the quiet, unseen acts that never make headlines.
It is stopping along the roadside to help someone
Why Do You Serve?
change a tire. It is pushing a disabled vehicle out of traffic to ensure a family’s safety. It is taking a few minutes to shoot basketball with neighborhood kids while on an engine detail, showing them that firefighters are not only responders in moments of crisis, but neighbors who care.
These small, often unnoticed interactions embody the true heart of service. They build trust, foster connection, and remind the community that we are present — not only in emergencies, but in everyday life.
After 28 years, I no longer serve for the adrenaline. I serve for the people beside me and the community before me. I serve because the fire service is not just what I do — it is who I am.

The fire service has always prided itself on being a brotherhood and sisterhood built on courage, sacrifice, and service. We run toward chaos when others run away. We train for the worst days of someone else’s life. We carry caskets of our own when tragedy strikes close to home.
But for too long, we have neglected one critical responsibility: taking care of our own mental health.
The culture of toughness that makes us effective on the fireground can become a barrier when it comes to emotional wellness. The phrase “suck it up” has echoed in bay floors and kitchens across America for generations. While grit and resilience remain essential traits, we now understand that unaddressed psychological stress can erode performance, relationships, and even lives.
It’s time to redefine strength in
Taking Care of Our Own: Strengthening Mental Health Via

the fire service.
The Weight We Carry
Firefighters are routinely exposed to traumatic events — fatalities, pediatric calls, suicides, violent incidents, and line-of-duty deaths. Unlike a single traumatic event that might affect the general public, we experience cumulative trauma over the course of a career.
Sleep disruption from shift work compounds the issue. Chronic fatigue impacts emotional regulation, decision-making, and overall health. Add to that the pressure of promotional processes, administrative responsibilities, public scrutiny, and the unspoken expectation to remain stoic — and the burden becomes heavy.
Research consistently shows that firefighters experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, substance misuse, and suicidal ideation com-
pared to the general population. Behind the badge and turnout gear are human beings absorbing years of stress.
Ignoring it doesn’t make it disappear. It makes it dangerous.
Culture Change: From Silence to Support
Historically, seeking help was perceived as weakness. Younger firefighters worried it might affect promotions. Officers feared it could undermine authority. Many simply didn’t know where to turn.
Fortunately, the culture is changing. Departments across the country are recognizing that mental health is operational readiness. A firefighter struggling with untreated trauma is no different than one operating with an untreated physical injury. Both impact safety, teamwork, and effectiveness.
Leadership plays a crucial role
in this shift. When chiefs and company officers openly discuss behavioral health, attend peer support training, and normalize counseling resources, stigma decreases. The message becomes clear: It’s okay to not be okay — and it’s not okay to ignore it.
The Power of Peer Support
Peer support programs have become one of the most effective tools in the fire service mental health toolbox. Why peers? Because firefighters talk to firefighters.
Peer supporters understand the culture, the dark humor, the smells that linger after certain calls, and the silence on the ride back to the station. They’ve stood in the same boots. That credibility builds trust.
A strong peer support team typically includes trained members from various ranks and shifts
who:
Mental Health (continued)
• Provide confidential, one-onone support
• Recognize early signs of stress injury
• Offer resources and referrals to licensed clinicians
• Conduct check-ins after difficult incidents
• Assist during personal crises (divorce, illness, financial strain, etc.)
Peer support is not therapy. It is the bridge to it.
When implemented correctly — with proper training, confidentiality standards, and administrative backing — peer support becomes a safety net woven into the fabric of the department.
Critical Incidents and Aftercare
Certain calls demand structured follow-up: line-of-duty deaths, pediatric fatalities, suicides, mul-
tiple casualty events, or incidents involving firefighters’ families. Departments should have protocols that include:
• Immediate defusing sessions
• Access to culturally competent clinicians
• Follow-up check-ins weeks and months later
• Family outreach resources
Trauma doesn’t operate on a 24-hour timeline. Sometimes symptoms surface long after the apparatus is back in service.
Peer teams help ensure no one slips through the cracks.
Supporting the Family Behind the Firefighter
Mental health in the fire service doesn’t stop at the station door. Spouses and children often experience secondary stress. Mood swings, emotional withdrawal, sleep issues, and hypervigilance affect home life. Many families
Mental Health (continued)
don’t fully understand what their firefighter has been exposed to— or how to support them.
Forward-thinking departments are expanding peer support programs to include:
• Family orientation sessions
• Spouse support groups
• Educational materials on stress and trauma
• Access to family counseling resources
When we strengthen the family, we strengthen the firefighter.
Leadership’s Responsibility
Peer support cannot survive as a side project. It must be institutionalized.
Chief officers and administrators should:
• Allocate funding for training and clinician partnerships
• Develop written policies ensuring confidentiality
• Provide time for peer training and response
• Track utilization (without compromising privacy)
• Model healthy behaviors
Leaders set the tone. If officers joke dismissively about counseling, firefighters will remain silent. If officers share their own struggles appropriately and emphasize wellness, the culture shifts. Taking care of our own starts at the top — but it must be em-
braced at every level.
Recognizing the Warning Signs
Every firefighter should know the indicators of stress injury in themselves and their crew:
• Increased irritability or anger
• Withdrawal from crew activities
• Risk-taking behavior
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Increased alcohol use
• Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
• Expressions of hopelessness
The kitchen table has long been the heartbeat of the firehouse. It can also be the first line of defense.
Sometimes the most powerful intervention is a simple conversation: “Hey brother, I’ve noticed you haven’t seemed like yourself lately. You good?”
A New Definition of Strength
Strength in the fire service has traditionally been measured in physical endurance, tactical skill, and composure under pressure. Today, we must expand that definition.
• Strength is admitting when a call affected you.
• Strength is checking on your crew after a tough shift.
• Strength is using the resources available.
• Strength is building systems that protect our people long after the smoke clears.
We owe it to those we serve. We owe it to the families who wait at home. And we owe it to the firefighters standing next to us on the line.
Moving Forward
Taking care of our own is not a slogan — it is a responsibility. Peer support programs, strong leadership, family engagement, and access to professional behavioral health resources are no longer optional. They are essential components of a modern, healthy fire department.
For generations, firefighters have lived by the principle that no one goes in alone. That principle must extend beyond the fireground.
When it comes to mental health in the fire service, we must ensure that no one fights their internal battles alone either. Because the strongest departments aren’t just built on tactics and training. They’re built on people who take care of each other.
Mulkey’s
Town
I would say that most firefighters don’t think a whole lot about retirement in the early years of their careers. There’s too much excitement to think that someday the job that allows you to help others and provides the adrenaline rush you crave comes to an end.
As time goes by (and it goes by quicker than you think) it will start to cross your mind from time to time. Even then it just seems like something that you mention in passing. Next thing you know you start mentioning to others about how many more years that you plan to stay on the job.
Before you know it, you begin “running the numbers” to see what kind of money that you will have in retirement, and you calculate when you
What Does Retirement Look Like? Treasurer

will reach a threshold of retirement income that you believe that you will be able to live on.
At some point you realize that you get a little excited and even a little nervous about the fact you are really starting to consider retiring. Then the concern comes about as to how you will know, for sure, when it’s time to actually hang up your gear for the last time.
Before I made that decision, some of my predecessors advised me that “you will just know.” I found that advice to be true, as I’m sure it will work that way for most of you.
Just a little advice from an old, retired firefighter: If your department doesn’t already participate in the Georgia Firefighter’s Pension Fund, join it on your own! It is one of the
most cost-effective retirement plans that you can get involved in! Take advantage of any retirement option that you can afford.
And one more thing: Don’t retire just to sit down and be inactive. Folks don’t live long doing that. Make sure to stay active, and if all else fails, give me a call and we’ll go fishing!
With
Sincerity and Respect,

Honoring Georgia's Bravest: Firefighter Appreciation Day 2026
submitted by Mike Byrd GSFFA President
On February 3, 2026, the Georgia State Government once again paused to honor the men and women who stand on the front lines of public safety. Firefighter Recognition Day is more than a ceremonial gesture; it is a statewide tradition established by law that dedicates the first Tuesday of February to recognizing those who respond to fires, medical calls, hazardous materials emergencies, rescues, and countless non-fire crises.
The day started with the President and 1st Vice Presidents of the Georgia State Firefighters Association and Georgia Association of Fire Chiefs going
on the Senate floor to receive a proclamation of appreciation and to sign a resolution designating February 3, 2026, as Firefighter Appreciation Day. Later that day, Senator John Albers presented a Senate Bill which will allow firefighters to begin collecting their State Firefighters Pension and remain working within the fire service at the rule of 80. The bill was presented to the Senate Pension subcommittee, which was unanimously approved, and will be brought before the floor of the Senate for Approval. A request for firefighters to be present in the room for the vote, and the Georgia Fire Service turned out in numbers, making an impressive showing for the vote.
The actual ceremony took place on the south steps under the Gold Dome of the Georgia State Capitol, where firefighters from across the state gathered for a ceremony beginning at 2:30 p.m. It was the largest attendance of firefighters since Pre-COVID. Governor Brian P. Kemp brought together state leaders for reflection and recognition. Lieutenant Governor Bert Jones, House of Representatives Leaders, Senate Leaders, and the State Insurance Commissioner spoke in appreciation of the dedication and sacrifice of firefighters in Georgia.
The Georgia State Firefighters Association then presented its 2025 service awards, with each recipient receiving a commen -
dation from the Governor. The awards and recipients were:
• The Rookie of the YearJoshua Theus of Warner Robins Fire Department
• Firefighter of the Year - Lee White of Warner Robins Fire Department
• Instructor of the Year- Travis Porter of Clayton County Fire and Emergency Services
• Company Officer of the Year
- Michael Stone of MaconBibb County Fire Department
• David Gray Leadership Award - David Sargenski of Woodstock Fire Department
• Life Saving Valor Award
- Steven Teal of Northside Volunteer Fire Department
• Life Saving Valor AwardJohnathan Fetters of Spalding County Fire Department
• Life Saving Valor Award
- Nathan Gray of Spalding County Sheriff’s Office
• Life Saving Valor Award –Mathew Willingham of Menlo Fire Department
Several other Georgia Fire Service Associations also presented their annual awards and commendations. The Georgia State Fire Marshal’s office then swore in Local State Fire Marshals.
Following the Capitol ceremonies, participants attended Firefighter Legislative Visits, giving departments the opportunity to speak directly with legislators about critical issues, from safety initiatives to pension reform and resource needs. These conversations
Appreciation Day (continued)
reaffirmed the partnership between local departments and elected officials, a relationship essential to maintaining robust emergency services statewide. At 6:30 p.m., the spotlight turned to excellence as the Awards Ceremony honored outstanding firefighters from the Georgia State Firefighters Association, Georgia Association of Fire Chiefs, and Georgia Fire Inspectors Association. The awards highlighted achievement, innovation, and heroism within the fire service community. The ceremony included a catered dinner by the Vienna Fire Department, which fostered fellowship and allowed firefighters from across the State
of Georgia to reconnect. It was an outstanding way to conclude a day of remembrance, reflection, and celebration. As Georgia's firefighting community continues to evolve, strengthening training, advancing standards, and advocating for improved benefits, Firefighter Recognition Day stands as an annual reminder of the courage, dedication, and selflessness embodied by firefighters across the state. A strong showing each year at the Capitol also sends a message to the State Legislators that the Georgia Fire Service is a unified group of professionals that is dedicated to service, and we need their support to accomplish our mission.

A Look Inside EOCs That Work Its
About the People, Not the Devices
originally published by firerescue1.com
by Brian Schaeffer
When most people imagine an Emergency Operations or Coordination Center (EOC/ ECC), they picture a war room full of monitors, scrolling dashboards, extensive technical communication and IT equipment — something akin to NORAD. Today’s technology is impressive, but it can also be deceiving. After all, an EOC’s effectiveness is measured not by the size of the screens or the speed of the in-
ternet but rather by the authority, trust and performance of the people in the seats.
For those of us in the fire service, the lesson is familiar: The best equipment in the world means little without firefighters who are trained, empowered and prepared to make decisions. The same is true for the EOC. Hardware may enhance efficiency, but people and process remain the real engine of response.
Better Every Shift
Captain Marc Wysocki talks mental health as operational
readiness
Authority at the Table
The most common weakness of EOC performance is not the technology, it’s who fills the seats. Too often, agencies send available individuals, not those with the authority to act. The result is an EOC full of “representatives” who spend more time calling back to headquarters for permission than solving problems on site and on time.
An EOC is not designed for courtesy representation. It is designed to move resources,
issue warnings and solve complex problems under pressure. Every agency representative must have the authority to speak and act on behalf of their agency or discipline. That authority must be established in writing or through an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), rehearsed in training and reinforced by leadership well in advance of an emergency. Without it, decision-making skills and communities pay the price in terms of time and lost opportunities.
Leadership Presence as a Force Multiplier
On the fireground, visible leadership drives tempo and sharpens focus. Our chiefs are present, easily identifiable and effective on the fireground. The EOC should be no different. When city managers, county executives and fire chiefs are engaged in the EOC, the message is clear: This is the center of gravity for the community’s response. Furthermore, leadership presence is not ceremonial. Senior leaders in the room should streamline bureaucracy, eliminate roadblocks and make policy decisions in realtime. Their engagement ensures the EOC functions as a unified system, not as a meeting of competing agencies.
ESFs Matter
Fire, law and EMS are the backbone of the first-response system, but they are not the
Successful EOCs (continued)
only players who determine whether a community weathers a disaster. Public Works must reopen roads and clear debris. Utilities must restore public services. Public Health must contain secondary emergencies. Private-sector partners and nonprofit organizations must deliver to support the response.
This is why the Emergency Support Function (ESF) model can be essential. ESFs provide a structured way to bring together the full spectrum of agencies and partners. By organizing around functions such as transportation, energy, health and logistics, the EOC avoids ensures that all lifelines are addressed.
That being said, the model works only when ESF representatives are empowered. A nameplate without authority is meaningless. A trained and trusted ESF lead along with our common ESFs (ES-4 and ESF-9), with decision-making authority, can turn coordination into action.
Incident Command
For fire service leaders, the Incident Command System (ICS) is second nature. Its principles — common terminology, defined roles and unity of effort — are just as vital inside an EOC as they are on a fireground.
The EOC complements ICS; it doesn’t replace it. Incident commanders in the field focus on tactics and operations,
while the EOC supports them by securing resources, coordinating policy and managing interagency alignment. Like ICS, the EOC requires disciplined staff functions:
• Planning to manage situational awareness
• Logistics to secure
• resources;
• Finance to track costs and contracts; and
• A manager to coordinate efforts
An EOC without that structure is just a conference room with scattered conversations. An EOC with ICS discipline becomes a reliable engine of coordination.
Building the Team Before the Disaster
You cannot build trust at the height of a disaster. The foundation must be laid well in advance of activation. That means agencies must develop the Emergency Operations Plan together, exercise it together and learn from those exercises together.
High-fidelity training matters. Tabletop discussions are helpful, but functional and full-scale exercises that simulate real decision pressure are what build muscle memory. Research confirms what practitioners already know: Interorganizational trust established before a disaster directly predicts the speed and quality of coordination when it mat -
ters most (Kapucu & Garayev, 2014/2016).
Exercises should never be treated as compliance drills. They are opportunities to identify weaknesses, strengthen relationships and build confidence. Leaders who embrace them create teams capable of moving fast when the community needs them most.
The Core Work
When stripped of jargon, the mission of the EOC comes down to four tasks:
Identify the problem: Define what is broken, threatened or changing, always through the lens of life safety, incident stabilization and property protection.
Bring the right people together: Ensure the complete set of ESFs, technical experts and private-sector partners are represented with authority. Cut through the noise: Focus only on what saves lives, sustains the community and restores critical services.
Decide and act: The measure of the EOC is the speed and quality of its decisions, not the number of reports produced.
Moving Forward
For public safety leaders, the message is clear: Treat the EOC as a problem-solving engine, not as a showpiece. That means:
• Delegated authority for every seat
Successful EOCs (continued)
• Leadership presence at the highest levels
• ESFs and private-sector partners as integral members
• Rigorous planning, training and exercising
• Application of ICS principles inside the EOC
Technology will evolve, and we should continue to leverage it. But technology will never replace the people who carry the responsibility to act. Communities do not expect their EOC to look impressive; they expect it to deliver results.
The EOC is where agencies put aside egos, logos and silos. It is where authority is exercised for the collective good. And when staffed, led and trained correctly, it becomes exactly what our communities need it to be — the engine that solves problems when the clock is running out.
