Eastern Salisbury firefighters and workers from Mission BBQ, Whitehall, unload evening dinner supplies at the Eastern Salisbury Fire Department Emmaus Avenue station Feb. 8 before a critical incident debriefing. Under the guidance of a social worker, the debriefing allows firefighters from Eastern Salisbury Fire Department and Western Salisbury Volunteer Fire Company who were on the scene of the fatal dwelling fire in eastern Salisbury Feb. 1, to express personal feelings regarding the incident. Such debriefings are commonly held after a fatal fire or accident to help first responders to express, in a safe and private environment, the emotional trauma they may have experienced resulting from the incident.
