Expand/Collapse Item What are medical standards?

In 2001, the fire directors approved specific medical standards and established the Federal Interagency Wildland Firefighter Medical Qualification Standards Program to implement the standards. The medical standards apply only for arduous duty wildland firefighting positions as described in PMS 310-1. Specific medical standards are required because of the arduous and hazardous nature of the job, in addition to providing a means of tracking occupational health relative to acute and chronic exposure to the wildland firefighter environment.

The information gathered will assist the agencies in improving their fire safety programs and their commitment to maintain a high degree of responsibility toward public and firefighter safety.
