Manassas Park Fire Rescue

Fire Medic T.Anderson led a discussion on a topic that doesn't always get talked about enough in the firehouse: mental health.

As first responders, we witness people on some of the worst days of their lives. We see tragedy, loss, and trauma, and while we're trained to handle the call, the effects of those experiences can stay with us long after the sirens are turned off.

Taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health. Looking out for one another, having difficult conversations, and knowing when to ask for help are signs of strength...not weakness.

Thank you to Fire Medic Anderson for sharing his experience and helping remind our members that no one has to carry the weight of this job alone. The fire service is built on brotherhood and sisterhood, and that means being there for each other both on and off the fireground.

It's okay to not be okay, but it's not okay to stay there.

Our Nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay, but we can honor their sacrifice. Let us remember the brave men and women who gave their lives to defend our constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. We honor their courage to face fear, danger, adversity, and the ultimate sacrifice. Home of the free, because of the brave. In memory of many, and in honor of all.

Firefighter David Sullivan has announced that on June 13th, after 30 years of dedicated service, he is retiring from the fire service. He will be leaving behind a legacy of courage, commitment, and compassion. He began his career as a volunteer with the City of Manassas Park Fire Rescue Department in December of 1995 followed by becoming a career firefighter in May of 2001. Throughout his entire career with the City of Manassas Park he answered countless calls, protected our community in times of crisis, and served as a trusted mentor and teammate. The long hours, sacrifices, and unwavering dedication shown over the past three decades have made a lasting impact on both the department and the citizens served. We thank “Sully” for 30 remarkable years of service and wish him a well-earned and fulfilling retirement.
