Tom,
What is the date that this news clipped appeared? Just curious.
Not that it really matters in terms of its importance to the fire service and those administrations that discount the stress of our job.
One more reason for us to do all that is possible to protect ourselves from the dangers of our job, staying in shape and not allowing ourselves to breath smoke.
Thanks for sharing. Kevin Jutras

Excellent news story! I plan to forward this to our city's Human Resources Director. Is the follow up story on the Health and Wellness program available? We are looking at starting that program in our department, and I think it would give us more information from a neutral third party.
