In this special episode of the PIO Podcast, host PIO Shawn Millerick is joined by Fire Chief Dan Munsey to discuss the tragic loss of San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Nunez, who was killed in the line of duty in Rancho Cucamonga.

Chief Munsey shares his reflections on the close bond between County Fire and the Sheriff’s Department, the emotional impact of such events on first responders, and the importance of peer support and behavioral health programs for those who serve.

They discuss how County Fire’s peer support teams, chaplains, and comfort dogs stand ready to help both firefighters and law enforcement members process trauma and find strength in community.

For those who may be struggling to process this incident, please reach out to Captain Jeremy Pendergraft and the Care Team or your supervisor. They will put you in touch with resources to help.
