- Abstract
- Physical fitness is a necessary and indispensable asset to the performance of the fireman's job. Time and money is spent on maintaining fire department mechanical equipment in top condition to insure efficient operation and long life, but what is spent on the fireman himself? Firemen need an annual medical examination and a daily physical fitness program to keep them in top physical shape and insure the best performance. The County government and the 1752 uniform fire personnel both have a large capital investment in the preservation of the health of the individual.
