It
is our belief that in order to fulfill our mission and core values,
our firefighters and EMTs must be in top shape, physically and
emotionally.
Our Wellness & Fitness
Program has been established so that our members can reach and
maintain a level of fitness that allows them to safely perform their
assigned functions and to reduce the probability and severity of
occupational injuries and illnesses.
For personalised
fitness training contact Lisa on 657-0132 or email lis0132(at)aol.com
Our
program consists of activities within five program areas.
The program
areas are:
-
Physical fitness.
This includes initial and annual fitness assessments, as well as
individualized fitness programming.
-
Medical fitness and nutrition.
All members undergo an initial physician administered physical as
well as regular medical assessments.
-
Emotional health.
Through the provision of a contracted employee assistance program,
our in-house chaplain program, and the appropriate use of critical
incident stress management, we seek to address and reduce emotional
and behavioral health issues.
-
Family services.
The involvement of family members in our organization has important
benefits. Additionally, employee assistance services are available
free of charge to family members.
-
Injury prevention and rehabilitation.
The rehabilitation of our members following injury must be a
priority. Rehabilitation should include multi-site physical therapy
and rehabilitation services through a provider that has extensive
background with fire departments.
All
members are encouraged to work out regularly. The services of
certified personal trainers are available to all members at no
charge. Repeatedly, research has shown the need for high levels of
aerobic fitness, muscular endurance, and muscular strength to perform
safely and effectively in the fire service. Physical fitness is
critical to maintaining the wellness of our members.
The
Fitness Assessment (conducted
around May-June) consists of the following:
-
Timed treadmill test (assesses aerobic capacity and endurance)
- Firefighter: Bruce Protocol treadmill test
- EMT only: Balke Protocol treadmill test
-
YMCA
Bench Press test (assesses muscular strength)
-
Half
Sit Up test (assesses muscular endurance)
-
Hip
to Waist Ratio (body composition)
-
Sit
& Reach test (assesses flexibility)
The
Kombat Challenge consists of the following, performed in sequence:
-
Charged
hose-line drag (75')
-
Stair
climb with 2½" hi-rise pack
-
Tool
carry (150')
-
Dummy
drag (185lb dummy, 150')
All of the above are done in full gear with SCBA.
Participants must complete the Kombat Challenge within the time
allotted.

"I am proud to present to everyone the MTFR
Strategic Plan Year 1 Scorecard. This document, here in
PDF format, charts the current status of our plan’s
implementation. If you’re not familiar with the MTFR
Strategic Plan, it can be viewed and/or downloaded below. We
are now embarking on the second year of the ten year plan, the
first to be fully funded (due to last spring’s supplemental
levy); you’ll be seeing improvements and changes throughout
the year. Additionally, I’ll be seeking member
involvement on several of the initiatives outlined within the
plan." - Colin Altman, Chief - Feb 5, 2007
