Who We Are

FireWatch Magazine is an official publication of Eagle Island Publishing, LLC. FireWatch is the ultimate guide for today’s military veteran, their families, and supporters. #TeamFireWatch focuses on stories, reviews, and information relevant to the veteran community through authentic and transparent reporting.

Why We’re Here

Toni Hedstrom, founder and visionary behind FireWatch Magazine, recognized the importance of the ‘veteran story’ as she met with and worked alongside hundreds within the veteran community through her non-profit organization, Veteran Adventure Network. Toni has spent her life in and around the veteran community as a daughter, spouse, and business owner serving veterans. It was clear, there was a void in the sharing of the veteran experience. Veterans have something to say and a story to tell. Through FireWatch Magazine a commitment has been made to provide helpful, relevant, and inspiring stories from within the veteran community.

Mission Statement

FireWatch Magazine focuses on the everyday veteran, their stories, challenges, and success stories. Through in-depth interviews, storytelling, and discovery, veterans can find camaraderie and connection within the pages of FireWatch Magazine. The name ‘FireWatch’ denotes the magazine’s focus on ‘keeping watch’ by focusing on topics and issues that matter to its readers. The FireWatch platform allows veterans to speak out about their experiences, challenges, and continued efforts to serve the American people.

The #TeamFireWatch can be found in the community, supporting and reporting on veteran-focused events, missions, and opportunities. FireWatch health and wellness contributors commit to discovering new and innovative wellness programs to elevate the veteran experience by providing honest commentary through real-life trial and error in various programs. For FireWatch, collaboration is vital in service to veterans. We never stop trying to find and report on our community’s many veteran betterment programs, organizations, and missions. 

FireWatch Magazine serves the most critical audience; American Veterans, Active-Duty and Retired Service Members, and their families. We serve without political influence and with extreme sincerity.
