Our mission: To provide perseverance through communication and understanding; guidance through resources and education; and health advocacy through influence and coaching. We are the Wi
thin Thin Lines Foundation, Responder Lifeline, and the WTL Education “Where Training Leads.” Our philosophy here is that excellence is all of our own responsibilities. And that responsibility starts Within the Thin Line communities. We strive to provide our members a place at our table, just like at the firehouse, where they can solve all the world's problems; share their stories, reflect on experiences, learn from and educate one another, and most importantly, understand the need for mental and physical strength conditioning. We provide a safe haven for members to know that it’s okay to not be okay, and that some of the best support they can find is from their very own brothers and sisters within their communities.
We are a veteran owned, firefighter/Medic/LEO/Nurse hosted podcast organization, accredited by CAPCE to provide educational content and training events. We are respected for having the conversations "nobody wants to have but need to have" and the training that everyone is "searching for."
Welcome Within a community of Military members, First Responders, and their friends and family; a collaboration where all fields, trades, and services can connect and relate. Welcome Within a table where members can share their stories, express their voices, and learn from each other. This is a resource where members can find perseverance, assistance, guidance, mentorship, and peer support. Welcome Within an outlet for collaborative and personal influence towards better health; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Welcome to our Art of Conversation here Within Thin Lines.
We are a not-for-profit educational organization and training center dedicated to protecting and serving the men and women of our Military, First Responder and Public Service communities and their families through realistic training, valuable education, and peer understanding. Our currency is through your success in mental and physical survivability, dependable gear supply, and dedicated support. Our resources stand ready to support you, your agency, and your family for training, education, preparation, and Mental Health Support. Our training center helps not only prepare first responders and members of our Military with certified and accredited real world application medical training and gear supplementation, but also as a safe-haven to seek immediate mental health support. By assisting us with your support, we can continue to deliver our resources more accessibly more sincerely for the continuation and longevity of support for our members. Supporting our missions allows our operations to continue to deliver our courses and provide training to the members of the public with CPR and Stop the Bleed certification, and education/development opportunities for First Responder/Military career path guidance. All proceeds in fundraising and donations to our mission goes directly to supporting any and all First Responders, Military members, and their families during their times in need of mental health resilience, peer support, and guidance.

FDNY crews were trying to reach trapped workers when the explosion occurred, killing one civilian and injuring four EMS personnel and 29 firefighters.
On Saturday evening while operating at a medical emergency, Station 38 EMTs Jeanette Cruz and Kimani Doyle identified heavy smoke in the hallway on the fourth floor of a six-story building in Brooklyn.
The crew immediately requested the response of firefighters and began evacuating residents. Upon arrival, firefighters located an active fire on the third floor and initiated operations to contain and extinguish it.
The FDNY commends EMT Cruz and EMT Doyle for their professionalism and situational awareness.
