At Lacey Fire District 3, emergency calls do not end when crews leave the scene. In the quiet moments afterward, a dedicated support services team helps firefighters process trauma, supports grieving families, and changes the culture around mental health in the fire service. Born from tragedy and shaped through relationships, the program focuses on one simple idea: caring for the people who spend their lives caring for others. Through intimate conversations and observational moments inside the department, After the Call reveals the emotional reality behind emergency response — and the people working to ensure no one carries it alone.
