Firefighter Physicals

A Firefighter Physical assesses the overall health and fitness of firefighters to ensure they are capable of handling the physically demanding and high-risk nature of their job. These physicals are essential for both career and volunteer firefighters.

What a Firefighter Physical Includes

• Cardiovascular testing: Includes blood pressure checks and may involve additional heart health assessments to ensure fitness for strenuous activity.
• Pulmonary function testing (PFT): Assesses lung function, which is critical due to the respiratory hazards firefighters face.
• Musculoskeletal evaluation: Ensures strength, flexibility, and mobility are adequate for firefighting duties.
• Physical examination: General health check focusing on fitness for firefighting responsibilities.
• Mental health screening: Ensures the firefighter is psychologically prepared to handle the demands of the role.
