This week our firefighters, whether on duty or off duty, had to complete their FRPAT (Firefighter Related Physical Agility Test) at our Fire Station 1. This agility test is an annual requirement in order to remain on staff with the Department (volunteers included). It also falls on the heels of our members completing their annual firefighter physical, cardiac stress test and OSHA respiratory exam. Additionally all firefighters were fit tested on their SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) mask fit (fortunately each HFD firefighter is issued their own, fitted, mask).
So, it’s been a busy month for them; but this is key in ensuring they are healthy and ready to serve the #Ville #OneTownOneTeam #BlackOverRed
