"The one thing that the fire service is known for is its ability to adapt and mitigate situations. When an emergency arises in a community, firefighters respond with their mobile toolbox on hand; fire apparatus having capabilities to mitigate almost any scenario."

‘There will always be danger in the life of a fireman, and that lends dignity as well as attraction to his profession. People respect the man who is ready to face exposure, fight a treacherous element, and risk life and limb in the service of humanity. But danger and injuries can be minimized by careful instruction at drill, by teaching good firemanship by example, by the provision of first-class equipment, and lastly by the careful investigation of every serious accident that occurs, in order to make sure that, so far as is humanly possible, that will be the last one of that type to occur’ (p61). One of my favourite books on firefighting, written by Sir Aylmer Firebrace CBE in 1947. The points he made then are still so relevant now. Replace ‘fireman’ with ‘firefighter and it’s a pathway to success. However, have we met the standard to date?

"99% of what we need to be able to do is preparation. 1% is actually doing it." Captain Wesley Cox recently summed up the training ethos at Winder Fire Department as firefighters undertook the Denver Drill, modeled after a 1992 fire in Denver, CO in which a firefighter was trapped in a confined space. "Our citizens deserve for us to be prepared." Watch the video below to learn how our firefighters prepare for worst-case scenarios ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/eWNeri69

Conditioning means different things to different people; especially among first responders. Goals, preferences, and needs can vary greatly. That's why at Performance Code, LLC, we aim to provide education along with program guidance. Conditioning can be more than just going out for a long run. It is also more than just slapping a bunch of random exercises together and doing it as fast as possible. A favorite quote of mine from Dr. Mel Siff - "Any fool can create a program that is so demanding that it would virtually kill the toughest Marine or hardest of elite athletes, but not any fool can create a tough program that produces progress without unnecessary pain." Select your exercises with purpose and choose your methods with intent.
