Grant funds new fitness gear for Cedar Rapids firefighters
Cedar Rapids firefighters received a 16450 grant from Fireman's Fund Insurance to buy four treadmills two stationary bikes and four regular bicycles. Fire Chief John Pulver notes half of firefighter deaths are heart related and the new equipment aims to improve cardio health and readiness at Fire Station One and other stations. The grant supports a broader wellness push since 1997 led by the IAFF and IAFC.
