Fitness Program Survey
A survey of fire department physical fitness programs to determine which best may reduce the incidence of injuries will be conducted by the International Association of Fire Chiefs Foundation. The survey will be financed by a $60,819 grant from the National Fire Prevention and Control Administration.
After various types of programs in both paid and volunteer fire departments have been identified, eight or ten that appear to be the most effective in limiting injuries and deaths from heart disease will be studied thoroughly. The IAFC Foundation also will evaluate literature on physical fitness for fire fighters.
