FoxFury Lighting Solutions is proud to sponsor the Return To The Station video that deals with the controversial topics of first responder stress and rescuers needing rescuing. This video, written by Eddy Weiss and filmed by Ted Fillhart, is based on the true story of a firefighter who overcomes responder stress with some help from his friends.

The lifesaving work that first responders perform is physically demanding, emotionally draining and sometimes hazardous to their health. Staying physically and mentally healthy can be challenging. If not managed properly, responder stress can develop into serious problems like harmful addictions or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).

"The nature of the job makes it very easy for a firefighter to turn to drugs and alcohol," said Mark Lamplugh, Founder and CEO of 1st Responder Treatment. "The film shows how hard it can be on the marriage as well. Being a responder is incredibly demanding and not everyone copes with it the same."
