A large number of Lexington firefighters will be able to participate in a new health and fitness program. It’s supported through a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant of just under a half million dollars. Lexington Fire Chief Jason Wells said the series of seminars will examine issues beyond physical readiness.
“Not only is it fitness which we normally think of and job-related fitness but also things we don’t think about as much…flexibility..things like mindfulness, yoga, nutrition. This very holistic look at firefighter health and wellness,” said Wells.
