Flame just proves that all Fire Stations need an emotional support animals. It helps the fire fighters cope with PTSD and other stresses.

[@MissingRaptor]

Yesssssss 🐈

[@-108-]

True... but, this is Flame we're talking about here, and he does seem to be fairly uniquely suited for his role there. That would suck to have a firehouse cat that was just an azzh0l3.

[@scout_424]

There’s a reason why people in the emergency service have pets. My dad is a firefighter, he has his most stupid dog. She’s such a good dog. She is a bull terrier.

[@onotad]

Patients, prisoners and the elderly in care homes benefit a lot by having cats around. I´m surprised it´s not more often done in those establishments unless there are allergies of course.

Emotional support animals is a good idea except that there are a lot of people who have allergies to animals so that won't work.

Yeah, he probably knows it. They can be really in tune with human emotions so he probably tries to calm them on instinct. It wouldn't surprise me if he considers it his job, his duty, his mission to help the firefighters who help so many others. Perhaps he senses that they rescue others, just as they rescued him, and that this can be a stressful job.

it's entirely dependent on the cat. what people need to realize is that cats have very big personalities. you can't really control how they grow up. some strays can be the absolute sweetest things, while others will immediately run away or get angry. it's entirely up to the cat.

People probably don't realize how extremely beneficial this cat is for these guys. Firefighter suicide rates are much higher than the average and the job takes an extreme mental and physical toll. They see a lot of death at times and a lot of times that includes children. Not to mention the physical injuries. The therapeutic value of this will probably save lives at this station.

[@wolftamer5463]

Same for paramedics. Give the emergency workers cute animals, give the animals homes. It’s a win-win.

PTSD from what? It’s not the 60s where they were fighting fires in dangerous slums that could collapse any second every night. Only 48 died in 2019 and that was from wild fires and abandoned buildings in maryland.

@@gausly1032 Yes,that's somewhat true as it can be a very loud environment 🔊 🚒 for most animals liking I'm sure,but usually if they have the animal from a puppy or kitten,then they (the animal) usually becomes used to it 99% of the time thankfully,especially if it's all they know,and it also can have a lot to do with the breed of cat or dog and their temperament,but sometimes crazy things happen, and certain animals you would never think would be ok with all the Hussle and brussel,are totally in their element and love where they are. But the station my dad worked for had 2 resident "house dogs",and they were Dalmatians of course!! Very pretty dogs!! (This was in the 1980's tho!) But anyway,they both lived (and worked) at the station their entire lives,and went on the truck with the guys and on calls,so it was really cool growing up and hearing stories about them and seeing pictures of them all up around the firehouse. Sadly but never the less,they obviously have passed away decades ago😢, but they have a beautiful little cemetery on the stations property where they are both buried and they have beautiful headstones🪦💐 for each doggie, with their pictures,names,and birth and passing dates etched into the stones (I wish I could remember their names,but I have forgotten them after all these years unfortunately) but they were clearly very special to the previous resident firefighters who had them,raised them,worked with them and of course loved them!! ❤️❤️

"He doesn't act like most cats", says every dog owner who gets a cat. Truth is cats pick their owner, and can be loyal and affectionate once they do.

I have a dog like cat and a cat like dog. They are all different.

[@TheKaniamania]

True... Why people always assume cat as an evil pet? They just treat it the wrong way. Once you show them affection in the right way, they will never left you. My cat always follow me even wait for me when I used toilet. They're really really depending on you and show love. I hate when people comparing dog and cat. Both animals has character just like human, the stereotypes about them most are wrong.

[@Karen-pk3uv]

@@TheKaniamania I wish I understood where that misconception came from. I think it might have to do with people not understanding the difference between a feral cat and a pet cat, or not realizing cats and dogs "speak different languages". Most of a dogs happy and playful body language translates to "oh you wanna fight" for a cat. Thats why it can take a bit for a cat to bond and accept a dog or new people into its colony. But, once it does they are extremely loyal, loving, and protective.

If this is where were my taxes were going I would be good with it

[@christygib]

I doubt they use tax money. The chief or department financial advisor would question the extra expense. I bet either a vet in their community provides the care free of charge because of their generosity would be recognized (A.K.A free advertisement) or the fire fighters split the cost. Which is very inexpensive, if you know the right DVM or animal shelter. All pet owners please sit down for this one. What I’m about to say, may blow your mind… A Rabies vaccine only cost a DVM $2.50 per vial. but the DVM must administer the vaccine themselves or supervise a vet tech administering a Rabies vaccine. Your DVM or shelter only pays $5.00 for each FVRCP vaccine. The DVM or shelter only pays $1.00 per ML (cats at most will need 2ML) for an oral deworming and topical flea treatments. The price for the parasite treatments varies, due to the animal’s weight. Anyone can administer the FVRCP and preventative treatments without supervision. Collectively, I think the initial cost for Flame’s medical expenses, would cost a DVM less than $10.00. The Rabies vaccine will need to be follow up in a year’s time from the original Rabies vaccine, but after that 1 year follow up, the Rabies vaccine will only need to be booster every 3 years. The FVRCP only needs to be administered once a year If a cat is older than 7 months old. If the animal is younger than 7 months, then it most likely goes through a series of up to 4 FVRCP vaccines. The parasite preventative treatments will most likely need to be done every 1-3 months. FYI I work in animal welfare. Does it show? LOL

[@TomLuTon]

@@christygib Alternatively, they might use tax money for it. Firefighting is an extremely stressful and dangerous job, and having pets has been shown to reduce stress and improve morale, which would reduce healthcare costs and firefighter turnover. The investment in a pet might actually save taxpayers a lot of money down the road.

[@jamesfranxx6151]

@@TomLuTon well growing up you always see you know dalmatians being the classic one we see on things but i've seen plenty of places that just take in whatever breed of dog taking in other animal types should be fine also. they are great for community outreach programs and like others have said help reduce stress and improve moral. so in truth a firestation having a pet does have a long history at least as far as most americans are concerned.
