Is there a physical fitness requirement to join the Department?
We do not have any physical fitness requirements to be on the Department.

Firefighters who actively extinguish the fires must be capable of carrying all of the protective gear (45 pounds or more) and manipulating the fire hose, both of which can be quite heavy. But Department members can also contribute in other ways such as fire prevention, traffic control or records.
