A Florida-based nonprofit is tackling veteran suicide by connecting community members and holding fast that the crisis American vets are facing is preventable.The Fire Watch operates on three premises: that suicide is preventable, that timely connection to resources can save lives, and that communities must play an active role in prevention."It takes the community to get involved in suicide prevention," Executive Director Nick Howland told Fox News Digital.After seeing impressive results, The Fire Watch is hoping to take its regional organization nationwide with an approach that tackles veteran suicide differently with treatment-focused efforts and local engagement.'DOWN TO ZERO': VETERAN SUICIDE CRISIS TARGETED IN VA BILL BY BIPARTISAN HOUSE COALITIONAt the heart of The Fire Watchs strategy is the "Watch Stander" program, modeled after CPR training.In a concise 30-to-45-minute session, volunteers learn to recognize warning signs, ask direct questions, validate the veterans' experience, and expedite referral to servicessummarized by the acronym SAVE."Like CPR doesnt train you to be a paramedic, our training doesnt turn you into a clinician," Howland said. "It trains you to notice the change and sound the alarm for help."Each Watch Stander leaves with a wallet card, wristband, and sticker as reminders of critical red flagsexpressions of self-harm, substance abuse, reckless behavior, or giving away possessionsand the simple steps to get someone to help.The nonprofit works in tandem with the state's veteran affairs offices and connects veterans with counseling services.Since its inception in Northeast Florida, The Fire Watch has tracked dramatic reductions in veteran suicides.After recording 81 veteran deaths by suicide in 2019, Howland set an audacious goal: cut that number by at least 25% for three consecutive years.TRUMP TO BUILD NATIONAL CENTER FOR HOMELESS VETERANS WITH FUNDS PREVIOUSLY SEND ON HOUSING ILLEGAL ALIENSAs of the latest data released May 1, veteran suicides in the region fell to 61 in 202325% below the 2019 baseline for the fourth straight year.Statewide, veteran suicides are down 5%, and in areas where The Fire Watch has a foothold (Northeast Florida, South Florida, Tampa Bay, and Escambia County), the decline has been 12%, compared to just 2% elsewhere in the Sunshine State."Where we're building our network of community members who care, who get veterans to the help they need, veteran suicidality is decreasing," he said. "It's remarkable."For volunteers like Ryan Haczynski, the programs impact is deeply personal. After losing a Vietnam veteran friend to suicide in late 2022, Haczynski searched for a way to honor his memory and prevent further loss."I didnt recognize the signs," he reflected, telling Fox News Digital that his friend had even asked him to be the executor of his will just weeks before his death.Following the vet's suicide, Haczynski's online search led him into Watch Stander and Ambassador trainings, where he has since certified others and even helped arrange a proper military funeral for his friend.Haczynski now uses every community interaction to check in on veterans, validate their experiences, and point them to Fire Watchs free 24/7 crisis resources."We want to give back, we want to help, especially people who have done so much [for our country] to go and serve us," he said.Learn more about The Fire Watch at thefirewatch.org.

A New Jersey town has moved to seize a 10-acre church property and turn it into recreational space, outfitted with pickleball courts and soccer fields.Christ Episcopal Church in Toms River, New Jersey, found itself at the center of a highly charged legal battle after its leaders moved to expand outreach to the areas homeless population and proposed a 17-bed overnight shelter."It didnt take long for neighbors to become concerned," Harvey York, the churchs attorney, told Fox News Digital.On April 30, the Toms River Township Council placed an ordinance on its agenda to condemn the church's 10-acre site, which includes the parish house, auditorium, school, sanctuary and deacons residence, under its eminent domain power.CHURCH FIGHTS NEW JERSEY TOWN OVER PLANS TO SEIZE PROPERTY AND TURN IT INTO PARKThe town's plan is to turn the congregation's property into a recreational area."Any governmental agency has the right to condemn property for governmental purposes. Thats clear. However, the township has never thought of this as a recreational site," York said. "For them to say they need recreational land flies in the face of the facts and their master plan."York and his legal team argue that the move to seize the property is the townships direct response to the churchs shelter initiative."It is clear that this is being done in retaliation for the church making an application for a homeless shelter," he said, pointing to both the constitutional protections for freedom of religion and the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act."I dont know that youll find a lawyer who will say, Oh, yeah, they have every right to do this; theyre going to win."Despite rising community support, from local congregants to offers of amicus assistance nationwide, reactions remain mixed within the New Jersey town."There are people that are thrilled that the mayor is going to condemn the property," York said, but he believes "the majority of the community is shocked and dismayed."BUSINESS OWNERS TAKE ON CITY THEY SAY IS PLAYING 'MUSICAL CHAIRS' WITH PROPERTY IN EMINENT DOMAIN CASEAs for the churchs next steps, litigation is certain."The plan will be decided by the diocese," York said. "But they certainly will litigate the issue, and I believe it will be successful."The church's attorney said the government should "mind their own business and stay out of the religious affairs of the community."Five or six hearings have taken place, and the next zoning board meeting is scheduled for May 22. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Township of Toms River for comment on the pending litigation and the hearings.The church originally applied in July 2023 to operate an outreach center for the homeless, an effort that was approved. According to York, their application for the shelter fully complies with local and state regulations.
