What is the most valuable asset to your fire department? Your firefighters!
Your firefighters execute your mission. But did you know . . .
- Injuries on the fire ground remain unchanged since 1981
- Strains and sprains continue to be the leading cause of firefighter injuries
- $18,000 is the anticipated accumulative expense per firefighter injury
Injuries take your firefighters from being an asset to a liability. This makes it harder for you to accomplish your mission of protecting the citizens of your municipality while also balancing your budget. This is a sad fact among fire departments nation-wide. We believe we can help change that. Firefighter Dynamic Performance Training will help you continue your mission by training health and improving safety through workshops, certifications, and consultation.
Training Health. Improving Safety.
As a Fire Captain earning several certifications during my 12 years of experience in firefighter fitness education as the Milwaukee Fire Department’s lead peer fitness trainer, I have developed the tools and programs your department can use to succeed. My knowledge, skills, and abilities have helped me create programs that are field-tested and have fundamentally changed the Milwaukee Fire Department. In training health, I have played a key role in reducing injury claims by 57.8%, which helped save the city of Milwaukee $1.3 Million. Through FD-PT’s programs, certifications, and consulting, this knowledge, these skills and abilities can be yours.

Don’t have a state-of-the-art workout facility? Great…we don’t need one!
FD-PT’s workshops do not necessitate a brand-new, fully-furnished gym like some other performance training programs. Our training utilizes Ultimate Sandbags, Quantum Bands, and other tools found around the typical firehouse. Because our exercises emulate the day-to-day activities of firefighters, our programs don’t require the huge investment in complicated workout machines. A typical workout equipment setup for a firehouse costs $25,000. When you use FD-PT techniques, the total equipment cost for your firehouse is only $400. That’s quite the savings.
FD-PT is designed to work for your firefighters and your budget.
Our Workshops
Our workshops are more than just a series of best practices and exercises – they are designed to emulate everyday activities that every firefighter faces. The four workshops developed by FD-PT take no longer than four hours and involve personal interaction with all participants. These workshops are a perfect introduction to the benefits of the expertise found at FD-PT as they elicit immediate results and provide the foundation for further improvement.
