Emergency crews and law enforcement never know what they will see on any given work day.
From fires, to crashes, to water rescues; the ones who keep us safe deal with many types of tragedy.
The "Peer Support Team" is a new program started in Eau Claire within the last year that focuses on the mental health of emergency personnel and law enforcement.
“After a major critical incident or significant event, we have critical event stress debriefing," said Eau Claire Police Department officer Bridget Coit.
It may be a slow day - or it may be a day full of traumatic events.
“It could be things like large scale fires, crashes, or prolonged rescues. Things of that nature," said Allyn Bertrang, Eau Claire Fire Rescue Deputy Chief.
"That's the hard thing about being an officer, especially being a patrol officer, is sometimes you're going call to call to call to call," said Coit.
A new program implemented by Eau Claire Fire Rescue and ECPD has helped alleviate the stress caused by these events.
