Episode description
We’ve talked several times on this show about PTSD and its effects on firefighters. It’s a serious problem, one that affects nearly 40 percent of first responders.
On this edition of Code 3, we’re going to talk about a documentary available on YouTube that brings the problem home in a very impactful way.
It's titled, “The Call We Carry: Confronting PTSD in the Fire Service.”
It’s quite a good documentary, packing a lot into just over an hour of screen time, and winning some prestigious film festival awards.
The film was produced and directed by firefighter-paramedic Cody Shea. He’s been with the Tacoma, Washington Fire Department since 2018.
