   This powerful and motivating presentation, as exhibited below, is a very effective tool used to help first responders, police personnel, fire personnel, hospital personnel, military personnel, civilian employees and spouses to deal with tragedies commonly referred to as ‘Critical Incidents’. It is even more effective in helping the same personnel to deal with the every day stressors associated with their chosen careers that can and often do result in career-ending actions such   as PTSD, depression, cumulative stress, domestic violence, failed relationships, alcoholism, substance and even suicide.

SFFMA Special Notice

April 8th, 2013

Act Now to Show Your Support for the Volunteer FireFighters Protection Bill!

S.B. 766 by Senator Hegar will be heard this Wednesday in the Senate Intergovernmental Relations Committee.


PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATOR IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL!

S.B.766 will make it clear, once and for all, that the state should not impose mandatory licensing, regulation and red-tape on volunteer firefighters.

SFFMA encourages all volunteers to obtain as much training as time and money will allow. However, in these tough economic times, it has become increasingly difficult to recruit people to volunteer to protect their communities and those who do should not have to ask Austin bureaucrats for permission first!

S.B. 766 does the following:

(1) Defines who is a volunteer firefighter;

(2) Prohibits the state from regulating volunteer firefighters;

(3) Will help slow the decline in the number of volunteers willing to serve the State of Texas. Since 77% of the state is protected by volunteers, this is very important!

If you live in the areas covered by the Senators listed below, please call or fax their offices today through Wednesday.

When calling or faxing:

* State your name, your department and that you live in the Senator’s district.

* Let them know that S.B. 766 will prevent unfunded mandates from the state that you and your fire department can’t afford.

* Politely ask for the senator’s support for the bill and ask that he/she co-sponsor the bill.
