The purpose of the contest is to motivate firefighters, EMTs\u00a0and Medics to change the unhealthy culture of the fire service.\u00a0\u00a0 Statistics show that the obesity rate in\u00a0firefighters is higher than the general population. \u00a0Sadly, firefighters are more likely to die\u00a0from a heart attack or stroke than in a fire related incident.\u00a0\u00a0 WE\u00a0MUST CREATE a HEALTHY CULTURE IN THE FIRE SERVICE<\/span><\/b> as lives, communities\u00a0and our families are counting us! Take the “fit for duty” challenge,\u00a0get others in your department involved and help change the fire service\u00a0industry!<\/span><\/div>\n
