Keep focus on what you eat and become a healthier firefighter candidate. Be better prepared for the academy and healthier for your physical.  NFPA firefighter standards are usually the minimum bench mark to be successful in passing the firefighter physical.  Things like hypertension and obesity are usually conditions that would keep you from being successful.  Pay close attention to your diet and become the healthiest, strongest firefighter candidate you can be!

Wherever you go in your personal travels, so goes the fire service.  Whatever reasons one may have that requires immediate assistance, we come. From a heart attack to a car accident to a single family residential structure fire to a multiple alarm commercial fire to a flowing water rescue to a law enforcement assist, the fire service is there to protect life, property, and the environment.  Therefore, this is what you will be doing should you become a firefighter with a paid municipality fire department.

“Social media makes people’s lives easier. However, there is simply no substitute for human contact. Meeting people, shaking hands and making eye contact is still the key to building relationships and networking. Make your connections “the old fashioned way”, face-to-face and build solid, lasting relationships.”
