First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether it's possible to have firefighters train each other in a 6-week exercise program. 52 career firefighters from three local fire departments took part. The goal was to see if the program was easy to run and if firefighters would stick with it. The results will help design a larger future study.
