224. Texas Firefighter's Home - Gabriel Dominguez

21 years with the Houston, TX Fire Department, Captain Gabriel Dominguez has seen the many highs and low of the job. The highs are the easy part but the lows, they can be a real challenge even for the best of us. Finding a way to give back and be apart of something special, Gabe got involved with the Texas Firefighter's Home which is a not for profit, 501c3 organization that offers free housing for up to 90 days for firefighters and their families who seek medical attention. Houston has the largest medical center in the country as well as a tremendous health care system and many firefighters and their families find their way there for treatment and other medical procedures. The stress of the medical emergency alone is enough for our people, so the Texas Firefighter's Home takes the burden off our firefighters when looking for how they will be able to relocate during their medical needs. They current have six units available for those that apply online. Not only will you be given a place to stay, but Gabe and the organization's Ambassadors from Local 341 will check in on you and your family as well as make sure you are comfortable and your needs are met. Gabe and the organization believe that just like the fireground, no one should go through a MAYDAY alone. When a medical issue arises in your family, we need to circle the wagons, come together and make sure our own are taken care of. This episode is to drive awareness about this incredible program that is available to any firefighter and their families within the US.
