The St. John’s Regional Fire Department and IAFF St. John’s Firefighters Association Local 10-75 have partnered up with A Dollar A Day Foundation.
The charity raises money to support mental health and addictions programs in the province and across the country.
At the announcement, Fire Chief Sherry Colford talked about why the fire department decided to get involved.
Colford says as first responders, fire fighters see first-hand the devastating impacts mental health has in the community while they’re on the front line and how they are impacted themselves.
