We are currently seeking financial support to launch a health and fitness testing initiative for our firefighters. This program is designed to ensure our members remain physically capable of performing demanding emergency duties safely and effectively. Firefighting is a physically and mentally strenuous job, and regular fitness assessments can help prevent injuries, reduce health risks, and promote long-term wellness among our team.
As part of this initiative, we plan to bring in certified professionals to conduct baseline health screenings, cardiovascular testing, and job-specific physical evaluations. The goal is not only to meet national fire service wellness standards but also to proactively support the health and safety of our firefighters—many of whom serve as volunteers while juggling other careers and family responsibilities.
We are asking for donations to help offset the costs of this program, including professional testing fees, wellness resources, and future fitness equipment. Your contribution would go directly toward improving firefighter safety, performance, and long-term health, ultimately benefiting the entire New Ipswich community.
