Frederick County Department of Fire/Rescue Services did not have medical/physical standards for its firefighters beyond the most basic medical examination required of all County employees. The purpose of this paper was to investigate medical/physical standards for firefighters and to evaluate new medical/physical standards for Frederick County firefighters. The methodology used included a literature review of the relevant literature in the National Fire Academy's Learning Resource Center and in the library of the Frederick County Department of Fire/Rescue Services. Current national and jurisdictional medical/physical standards were also reviewed. Subsequently, the new medical/physical standards for Frederick County were evaluated. Evaluative research was used to answer the following questions 1. What medical/physical standards currently exist at the national, jurisdictional and local levels? 2.Should a physical agility test be included in medical/physical standards for incumbent firefighters? 3. What is the current medical/physical health of firefighters in Frederick County. and what are the physical agility test results to date for Frederick County firefighters? 4. What are the new medical/physical standards for Frederick County firefighters? Procedures involved comparing and contrasting various medical/physical standards and applying them to Frederick County's fire/rescue services. The results revealed that firefighter medical/physical standards must be the same for incumbents and new hires alike. Jurisdictions must establish and ensure minimum physical requirements that are job-related and necessary for efficient performance of firefighter duties.Additionally, the results indicated that Frederick County's new firefighter medical/physical standard, including physical agility test, compared favorably with the national and jurisdictional standards surveyed. Finally, Frederick County should consider implementing a physical fitness program to promote firefighter wellness. It was recommended that Frederick County continue with implementation of its new medical/physical standards that are the same for new hires and incumbents alike.
