This week at the Fire Rescue Training Center, participants are taking part in ASIST (Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training), a two-day workshop focused on recognizing when someone may be at risk of su***de and taking immediate action to support their safety. The training, conducted by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Peer Support Team, equips attendees with practical skills to identify warning signs, engage in meaningful intervention, and develop a plan for ongoing care, a process known as su***de first aid. Their commitment to learning these life-saving skills reflects a shared dedication to protecting not only the communities they serve, but also one another. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue commends all participants for their willingness to step forward and be part of such a critical conversation.

This week, we joyfully celebrate National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week—a momentous occasion to acknowledge the heroic voices behind the scenes who stand ready when it matters most. To all telecommunicators, and especially our remarkable MDFR Dispatchers, thank you for being the beacon of calm in turbulent situations, the reassuring presence in someone's darkest hour, and the vital connection that links our community to rescue. You are the first line of defense—the true first responders—answering every call with empathy, courage, and expertise. Your tireless efforts may often go unnoticed, but they are deeply cherished. Lives are transformed because of your swift action, your unwavering commitment, and your compassion. From every team you support, every life you impact, and every moment you endure—please know you are cherished, revered, and genuinely appreciated. Thank you for all that you do, today and every day.

For three days the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Employee Wellness Office team had the privilege of connecting with fellow brothers and sisters during our CISM/Peer Support Training.

Led by our own instructor, Lt. Alex Trinchet, the experience fostered a strong sense of unity through meaningful exercises, valuable insights, and open dialogue. Each moment reinforced our shared commitment to supporting one another and better serving our colleagues. As a powerful reminder echoed throughout the training: it’s not about us—it’s about them.
