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.
