Fitness for Future Firefighters

FFF family saying hello from Dallas. Living the dream.

If you're a former member of FFF living out your dream, send us your picture, we'd love to see your success.

Fitness for Future Firefighters would not be possible without our mentors. "It is inspiring to know that all mentors are volunteers, and are aspiring firefighters who devote themselves to coach and empower potential candidates for future positions in a very competitive field." (excerpt from a letter from a former student)

To anyone who's ever worn one of our blue shirts, THANK YOU!

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Congratulations to Mentor Dugan who officially became a Dallas Fire-Rescue Firefighter today.

"Think about it—nearly every fireground task we perform requires the use of our hands. Pulling hose, hooking ceilings, carrying heavy equipment, dragging victims, firefighters, and objects—the list goes on and on... Whether it is on the fireground or in the gym, your grip strength can be a limiting determining factor to your performance, yet it is often overlooked." Check out this article on exercises to improve grip strength.
