We are doing it in our Turnout gear, so time to start training. I encourage other deprtments to invite your friends, spouses, and fellow firefighters & Explorers to join us too, and enjoy the sweaty experience.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now—more than ever—to help keep up the momentum of this life-saving research.
