Sunday, April 22, 2012 FIREFIGHTERS – Remember “Firefighter-Fit” is a concept, a way of living and benefits every aspect of life! We owe it to our brother and sister firefighters, family and friends to live an all around healthy life style. Our job whether it be volunteer or career takes a serious toll on our bodies! We have the hardest civilian based job and we go from zero to red lined on a regular basis. This is why our cardiac line of duty death statistics are so high, wait no….they are through the roof! We must give ourselves the best chance possible and eat healthier, exercise regularly and get a yearly check up done! With that being said – This is an Assistant Chief at the Washington Fire Co. in Mechanicsburg. I believe he will be 50 this year and wants to stay healthy into retirement, so he is taking the “Firefighter-Fit” concept into his own hands. He set up his own circuit at home using very simple equipment. GREAT WORK CHIEF!
