We talk about how difficult it is to have a miscarriage while still having to be at work caring for other people’s emergencies. This was something I struggled with in PA school during clinicals and I can’t even imagine how hard this would be as the woman going back to firefighting.

There’s no doubt that fitness is important in EMS, especially firefighting. This is a topic that pretty much everyone has room to improve upon; whether it’s better sleep, hydration, mental health or exercise.

If you have any doubt on your ability to pass a CPAT or are struggling in the fire service as a woman please check out Phoenix Fitness for some top notch coaching. https://www.myphoenixfitness.com/
