Fitness and Wellness
LAFD firefighters are expected to maintain fitness as a conduit for increasing safety that views firefighters not only as the most important resource on an incident scene but considers our firefighters to be ready, fit and strong.
In 2016 the Safety Division along with key fitness wellness partners to include LANL Occupational Health and Wellness, Los Alamos County and Local #3279 union began to integrate pieces of the IAFC-IAFF WFI – Wellness Fitness initiative that were lacking to include researching the rehabilitation and behavioral health elements when it concerns firefighters. Internally two teams were created begin this journey.
