🚒💪 Fit to Respond, Fit to Retire 💪🚒
At the Salt Lake City Fire Department, our firefighters are our top priority. That’s why we’re proud of our Fit to Respond, Fit to Retire initiative!
Our goal is to ensure that every firefighter is fit and agile, ready to serve our community with excellence and dedication. Firefighters don’t have the luxury of warming up before the alarm sounds. 🚨 They have to be ready to perform no matter the circumstances. But it doesn’t stop there. We also want them to be able to go home and enjoy their lives to the fullest.
By focusing on health and fitness, we’re not just preparing our team for the challenges they face on the job, but we’re also investing in their long-term wellbeing. Because a healthy firefighter is a happy firefighter!🧑🚒
Plus, it’s always a good day to share the park with the citizens we serve for a crew workout! 🏋️ 🚒
