Firefighters hate two things, the way the things are now and change.  Changing the fire service can be approached the same way you eat a whale, one bite at a time.

Before we get into the details about thinking small for big results, there was a fantastic article on firefighternation.com titled The Aging Firefighter- Health and Fitness Considerations Throughout a Career, written by Alex Redshaw from O2X

I'm hitting some of the bullet points of his article but go read it for the second half, which is his advice on staying strong and healthy through your career

https://www.firefighternation.com/firerescue/the-aging-firefighter-health-and-fitness-considerations-throughout-a-career/

Then we get into some cultural nuances that are specific to the fire service.  Whether they are built from ancient policies, or just something we like (Trucks, leather, and boot zippers)

Adding or changing anything with firefighters can feel impossible but I give you a few ways to look at it that may change or help your mentality when approaching the subject.
