Are the classic images of firefighters as healthy, fit, and strong still accurate? Although firefighters' bravery and commitment to public service has never been in doubt, a chilling epidemic has been slowly developing in the fire service which threatens their ability to effectively respond to the emergencies and disasters that will inevitably occur in our country. As in our nation at large, the number of individuals who are overweight, obese, and unfit has risen to alarming levels in fire departments, both volunteer and career, across our nation. In fact, the best evidence suggests that rates of the overweight and obese are higher in the fire service than in the general public. Chappy's Weight Loss Solution offers targeted help that has proven to work in the Firehouse.
