Protect Yourself: Your Safety, Health and Survival Are Your Responsibility
June 14-20, 2009
Protect Yourself: Your Safety, Health and Survival Are Your Responsibility encourages chiefs and fire/EMS personnel to focus on what they personally can do to manage risk and enhance their health and safety. This year’s theme reflects the need for personal responsibility and accountability within a strong safety culture.

Comment by Jeff Gaudio on March 12, 2009 at 3:10pm - I'm 6-2 and about 170lb. I don't need to lose weight but I would like to work on cardio and gain some muscle. I don't go to the gym. What can I do at home to work on this? My station doesn't have a weight room either. Any helpful suggestions?

- we usually do it once a year or so ... have it a surprise so when they show up they think they're gonna do class or something easy, it shows how ready they are for a call

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA WITH THE AIR PACKS.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU DO THIS?

Comment by The Irons on March 10, 2009 at 3:23pm
- Get them to put on packs and hit the stairs till their bell goes, repeat for another bottle then get your guys to look at how long a bottle lasts them while labor intence work... very simple training night and some might think its stupid but it worked for us!

- well one good idea is to tell them to push away from the table and quite cooking so much!!
