About Rachel Engel

I write about the human side of first response; how our neighbors show up in our darkest moments, and how that care ripples through our communities.Over the past decade, I’ve covered everything from frontline pandemic response to civil unrest, mass casualty incidents and the ever-expanding role of first responders in their communities.For me, it’s about elevating the stories within those larger narratives — the moments of connection, care and compassion that matter most in a crisis. It’s the on-scene interactions that linger, whether for a single shift or an entire career.If you’ve lived a story like this and want it told with care, I’m here to listen.
