The Plymouth County CISM team. Different uniforms. Same purpose.
The Plymouth County CISM team is a volunteer roster of firefighters, police officers, EMTs and paramedics, dispatchers, nurses, chaplains and licensed clinicians. We are organized under the Plymouth County Fire and Rescue Training Association and we have served the county’s responders since 1989.
How we are organized
Inside the Plymouth County CISM team
There is no paid staff. Instead, every role below is filled by a volunteer who also works a shift, raises a family and still picks up the phone at 2 a.m.
