I am trying to bring as many eyes to the mental health mission as possible. Helmet cam footage is just another means to help. This helmet cam video is courtesy of a Firefighter Buddy.
In January of 2020 I decided to start a RU-vid channel. My mission with this channel and all my social media blitz is to help bring awareness to firefighter issues like PTSD and occupational cancer through the game of golf. PTSD is real in the first responder professions and I hope though all this that I make an impact with at least one person.
My name is Steve Pope and I have been a Firefighter for the Kansas City, Kansas Fire Department for 27 years and the Merriam Fire Department for 1. I am an avid golfer who wants to grow the game of golf with this channel while also bringing awareness to the issues above.
I have a passion for golf and this mission because I have some PTSD issues that have caused problems in my family life as well as everyday coping. If you are a Firefighter, First Responder, Military or just a golfer that wants to play with me please reach out.

I applaud what you are trying to do for the brothers out there who like us suffer from ptsd to some extent daily ... I've been a firefighter since age 14 in Pennsylvania starting as a junior at a volunteer dept and stayed fighting fire since ... I have hard times with opening up or talking about my issues and tend to keep them bottled up inside as I feel like talking about them makes me feel like I'm putting my burden on others ... I face my problems alone and seem to be managing somehow but boy there are some tough days where it seems no matter what it just bothers me in a way... keep up the good work and stay safe

Thanks for sharing. I am doing my best to get the word out and help others. Stay safe brother and reach out anytime.

Please don't go it alone. It is hard to open up but there are so many good counselors out there. I know from experience. Copper in Cali.

I'm happy you opened up about how your feelings. Please never feel you have to be alone. We are all out here for you. Please keep talking we are listening...🤗🤗

Bottling up your feeling won’t help you. You have to share and talk about what you’re going through, to feel better!!

@@FirstResponderGolf If its a private cam, and the department has a policy for that sort of thing it will get hung up and go no where. Ask me how I know.

@@itrysrsly1826 tell me. I probably shouldn't be using this private footage but we are trying to grow the mental health mission and this stuff brings eyes to the channel mission.

@itrysrsly1826 5 месяцев назад

@FirstResponderGolf the biggest thing is keep it as private as possible. If you can censor department names and locations it's always a good start. Departments these days are adopting social media policies and will grill their members because of body or helmet cam footage.

@bradleypryor5586 5 месяцев назад

No scba in the structure is careless. That officer also didn't have his helmet strapped on. Setting bad examples for the new kids.

@Johannes3006 2 месяца назад

I always have it on for initial fire suppression/primary search but I tend to take it off for overhaul. It's not ideal but sometimes because of how long we're doing overhaul it just feels necessary in order to preserve energy. I would prefer to keep it on at all times though.

Can’t KCKFD afford gloves? What’s the deal with setting ladders, climbing and using tools on a roof without gloves? Some kind of macho man actions? And just because FDNY doesn’t buckle the lower SCBA strap doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. The MSA does its balancing on the hips, even with shoulder straps. Without the straps connected, you create the possibility of it getting caught in something and you’re losing some of the weight bearing for the SCBA. I’m a retired firefighter with 48 years service,and did a lot of training new ( and older) firefighters on the use of SCBA. You’d be surprised at the errors still done by firefighters today.

All valid points. This is not my helmet cam video. Just using it to help spread the mental health awareness mission

@BW12149 9 дней назад

@@FirstResponderGolf Yeah, I’m just concerned for you guys. I’ve seen FF get hurt pretty severely because they forgot to wear everything correctly. Nothing is more disturbing to me than seeing injuries that were avoidable, years ago, we were sent to a tractor trailer fire at a department store pane the trailer was full of flattened cardboard boxes. Pretty good fire going, no exposures so there wasn’t a big hurry. As we were getting hand lines into operation, one of the truck guys went over and opened the double wide trailer doors without his helmet on. A large metal bar at the top wasn’t secure and dropped on his head splitting it open from front to back. I was a probie at the time and it made a lifetime impression on me. He was transported to a hospital and never worked on our department again. Serious brain injury. So when I became part of training both paid and vollie department members, I was a stickler for doing it right, wearing all your gear properly and doing everything possible to protect yourself. Wearing all my gear religiously saved me a few times. I had good teachers, chiefs who took the time to teach and train me, captains who ingrained in me the reason for all of this. I’m now 74, and still kicking.
