Tell your story
Tell your story. Firefighter, officer, fire prevention officer, citizen or witness: did something funny, moving or out of the ordinary happen to you during a shift? Give us the broad strokes. We turn it into a story and publish it.
It is anonymous
No account, no name, no email: the form records only your text
On a phone, you can dictate your story, then correct the text before sending it
You do not need to be a firefighter or to write a long text: stories from citizens, witnesses, ambulance, police and security are welcome
Do not name the fire station or a person, and give no detail that could identify a victim
By sending your text, you agree that we may publish it, in whole or in part, rewritten as needed
Since nothing identifies you, we cannot reply to you or tell you whether your story was selected. Want a reply? Write to us through the Help and contact page.
