When missions become a burden: there are also helpers for firefighters. The Freising district has psychosocial emergency care (PSNV) and fire department pastoral care.

“You don’t have to be ashamed,” says Franz Rauch, co-founder of the PSNV group. ‘The threshold is lower when you are there,’ says Wendelin Hege, who has been part of the team for two years. � “My people are important to me. If you ask them about their motivation, they don't have to think twice about it.”
