PAGE A6, KEIZERTIMES, SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 Donation will help KFD fi refi ghters stay in shape Keizer fi refi ghters have been working out on shift at the fi re station for years. As part of the work day fi refi ghters are per- mitted time while at work to build their physi- cal strength, increase cardiovascular health and reduce stress. The challenge has become maintaining adequate space and fi tness equipment. Each day there are eight fi refi ghter/ paramedics on a 24-hour shift, plus six daytime posi- tions that utilize the fi tness room. They have to share one treadmill, two ellipti- cal machines, and minimal weight equipment. The area becomes crowded very quickly and often something is out of ser- vice waiting for repair. A solution recently presented itself for Keizer fi refi ghters in the form of an anony- mous donation. The donor has gifted the fi re district a three year membership to BFit Gym in Keizer. After consideration the Fire District Board of Directors and Fire Chief Jeff Cowan felt it will be the perfect solution. It would reduce the strain on the aging fi tness equipment at the fi re station, allow on-duty fi refi ghters to work out at the same time, provide expert guid- ance from fi tness professionals, and increase the variety of workouts fi refi ghters can do. This would all occur without increasing the fi re engine or ambulance’s response times to an emergency, there would be no cost to the fi re district, and it would assist Keizer fi refi ghters with improving their health and wellness. “Keizer fi re personnel are constantly working to im- prove ourselves on many levels,” KFD wrote in a press release. “Increasing our personal fi tness is just one more way we can serve our community to the best of our abilities. We are thank- ful for this opportunity and the communities’ continued support.” In 2015, 68 fi refi ghters across the country lost their lives while on-duty, 51% were cardiac related, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Two decades ago the International Associa- tion of Firefi ghters (IAFF) and the Interna- tional Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) de- veloped a Wellness-Fitness task force to reduce not only cardiac events in fi refi ghters, but also to reduce injury. Firefi ghters are at an increased risk for back, knee, and shoulder injuries due to the rigorous physical requirements of the job.
