Firefighter Fitness Is Different
- Move heavy equipment
- Climb stairs
- Carry and drag loads
- Work repeatedly at high intensity
- Push, pull and lift
- Move efficiently while fatigued
- Maintain cardiovascular endurance
- Perform physically demanding tasks while wearing PPE and equipment
You don’t just need to be fit. You need to be able to WORK.
