Sen. DiDomenico joins firefighters from across the Commonwealth

State Senator Sal DiDomenico recently joined the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts (PFFM) annual legislator’s night in Boston. “I am proud to support all the great firefighters in my district and throughout the state who keep our communities safe,” said DiDomenico. “I also want to thank Craig Hardy, for being a good friend and strong advocate for firefighters across the Commonwealth.”

DiDomenico is a longtime supporter of firefighters and has championed legislation, S.1821, An Act relative to disability or death caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, which would ensure that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) be treated like any other disability and help end the stigma associated with mental health assistance for first responders. By defining PTSD as a disability and creating a presumption that PTSD was suffered in the line of duty, first responders can receive the timely and adequate medical care they need to prevent chronic, disabling and potentially life-threatening disorders from developing.
