On this episode, I sit down and talk with Division Chief Ashley Losch with the Arizona Fire and Medical Authority, aka AFMA. We cover the current standards to become a firefigher, particularly in Arizona, current standards, the fentany crisis and many other topics. One of the main topics covered is to continue to break the stigma of mental health and what it means to be healthy, as well as what are some outside therapies that firefighters are doing to maintain their mental health and be the best possible first responder they can be.
Ashley also runs her own social media consulting firm, Blu Helmet Media, yes that is correct, no "e". Her mission is to bring people together through connection and forging new relationships.
Ashley can be reached in her official capacities through the AFMA website:
