๐๐ช Fit to Respond, Fit to Retire ๐ช๐
At the Salt Lake City Fire Department, our firefighters are our top priority. Thatโs why weโre 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 donโt have the luxury of warming up before the alarm sounds. ๐จ They have to be ready to perform no matter the circumstances. But it doesnโt 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, weโre not just preparing our team for the challenges they face on the job, but weโre also investing in their long-term wellbeing. Because a healthy firefighter is a happy firefighter!๐งโ๐
Plus, itโs always a good day to share the park with the citizens we serve for a crew workout! ๐๏ธ ๐
