#SaintPaulMN #Captain Chris Parsons' work meant every Minnesota #firefighter has access to education, prevention and care for the three biggest risks in their profession — cancer, cardiac and emotional trauma, #FireChiefButchInks said.

Devastating news. The St. Paul Fire Department and our entire state lost a true hero, and I lost a friend. Captain Chris Parsons was a beloved father, partner, brother, son, and fearless leader to so many.

His legacy will not be forgotten.

MnFIRE, along with the entire MN fire service, mourns the loss of St. Paul Fire Captain Chris Parsons. As a founding board member of MnFIRE, Chris' unparalleled support and drive was critical to the passage of the Hometown Heroes Act, which will forever be part of his legacy.

Free Critical Illness insurance has been a financial lifeline for Walker MN Fire's Richard Taatjes, who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. See how staying positive and focused on his health (instead of the bills) is helping him through treatment.

Can YOU walk for 200 miles? Doug Foote can! He's a firefighter for @ExcelsiorFire who walked across the state of Minnesota to raise awareness of MnFIRE. @MNFireInit works with firefighters who are struggling with mental health, cardiac issues, cancer, and more.

Happy International Firefighters Day to the dedicated firefighters here at home and across the world who serve and protect our communities every day! #IFFD #InternationalFirefightersDay

[MnFIRE Initiative @MnfireInit]

As firefighters, we don’t need to muscle through challenges alone. There are people in our corner ready and willing to help no matter the size of the problem – it doesn’t need to be a crisis to ask for help!
