A healthy fire service is a productive fire service. When you don't make yourself a priority, you're doing yourself and the community an injustice. The health and safety of our state’s firefighters is a critical component of the Association’s mission. We're here to help educate you on best health and safety practices.
Fitness
Fighting fires demands a certain level of physical aptitude. Not only does being physically fit help you on scene, but it also keeps you healthy and extends your life expectancy. Physical fitness is important and is critical for your health, but most effective when incorporated into a wholistic health plan that also includes nutrition and mental health.
