    Rectangle - Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service O @DSFire. Jun 15 One of the fire crews had the idea to bring along Digby, our 'defusingʻ dog. ... Digby helps crews who have been exposed to trauma during talking therapy 'diffusing' sessions.

    We have got to give a huge shout out to the fire crew that thought of bringing Digby to the scene. Digby also helps crews who have been exposed to traumatic situations- the crew is very familiar with the therapeutic powers of doggos.
