Health & Wellness
FireRescue1’s Health and Wellness resource center provides practical, evidence-informed guidance to support physical fitness, mental health and long-term career resilience. Coverage includes injury prevention, nutrition, sleep, stress management, cancer awareness and behavioral health to help fire service professionals remain healthy, capable and mission-ready on and off duty.
New technology makes it possible to reduce the overall weight of turnout gear – and the stress on the firefighter wearing it – without compromising heat resistance
