The Fire Service Joint Labor Management Wellness-Fitness Initiative (WFI) is a collaborative effort between the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC).
This initiative aims to standardize wellness and fitness guidelines across fire departments, ensuring that all firefighters have access to comprehensive resources for their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
About the WFI mission
Standardization: The initiative seeks to make wellness programs universally applicable and accessible.
Comprehensive Approach: It emphasizes the importance of physical, mental, and emotional health for recruits, active firefighters, and retirees.
Long-term Commitment: The WFI has been guiding fire departments for the past 25 years.
Recent Developments: In October 2024, a meeting in Washington, DC, brought together 58 subject matter experts to discuss the future direction of the WFI.
