Firefighting demands strength, endurance, and resilience. That level of readiness doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through consistent training and a strong culture of wellness. Earlier this year, the CAL FIRE Wellness Unit hosted its annual Unit Physical Fitness Coordinator Workshop at the Ben Clark Training Center in Riverside. Coordinators from across the state came together to sharpen their skills and strengthen the department’s approach to fitness and injury prevention. Experts covered functional strength training, nutrition for wildland firefighters, and strategies to design and adapt workouts that meet the operational demands of the job. Workshops like this reinforce a department-wide commitment to readiness. A healthy workforce supports safer operations, faster recovery, and long-term career sustainability. #CALFIRE #Wellness #FirefighterFitness #Training calfirewellness calfirerru
