Approach
In 1999, members of the Carrollton Fire
Department (CFD) and Carrollton Local 2182 developed
a wellness program which eventually led
to the implementation of the IAFF\IAFC
Joint Labor Management Wellness-Fitness
Initiative (WFI). It is the goal of the
CFD to help all members improve and
maintain their physical health, mental
health and ability to perform their
assigned duties. The wellness-fitness
program is designed to promote safe and
clear objectives and to provide a
supportive and productive atmosphere in
which to do so.
