Jon and Emily Engle, along with the Buhler brothers and Sergio, founded Hold the Line with a singular, powerful vision: to provide a sanctuary where first responders could heal from the invisible wounds of PTS through the quiet power of fly fishing. As a firefighter and a teacher, they didn't just see the trauma; they lived it, and they built a 501(c)(3) that turned personal healing into a lifeline for others.

We are proud to announce that we have officially joined forces. Hold the Line is now officially a part of The Fire Up Program. By bringing their expertise on the water under our banner, we are expanding our reach and strengthening our commitment to the brotherhood. Together, we are ensuring that the mission to combat PTS remains steadfast, task-oriented, and, most importantly, accessible to every brother and sister who needs it.
