The Irondequoit Fire District has partnered with the University of Rochester’s Fitness Science team to enhance the health and wellness of our firefighters. This collaboration reflects our commitment to investing in our members so they can better serve you.

As part of this initiative, all four groups along with administrative staff participate in a comprehensive Physical Fitness Combine. This combine challenges participants across a wide range of physical demands, allowing the Fitness Science team to establish a baseline understanding of each individual’s current fitness level and identify specific needs for improvement. In addition to the combine, the Fitness Science team visits the Culver Road Firehouse twice a week to lead on-duty crews through structured, science-based workouts. These sessions are designed to improve overall health, reduce injury risk and ensure our members are physically prepared for the wide array of emergencies they may face.
