In the small town that I live in, the firemen are very fit. Two of them cause me to stare open-mouthed when I run into them at the coffee shop. One has the most incredible forearms and chin dimple.
Ah awesome lol Thinking about it though they do do one of the few jobs that require a lot of physical fitness and weight lifting so their bodies would be in peak physical condition regardless if they were on call a lot or less.

On that note, there seem to be very few fires in my town, so they must have LOTS of time to work-out. Fine by me!

Are fire fighters even fit these days given how big the obesity epidemic is around the world lately ?

The firefighters we have on complex at my workplace are so overweight that if there was a fire they wouldn't stand a chance.
I'm not talkinig 200's either.. Try 300-400lbs, short and ROUND.

I fear that many firefighters ( and policemen) are in lousy shape: obese, just like everyone else in America. I don't know how they do their job, frankly. The pics of "firemen" here are, in my experience, atypical.

This. I am particularly shocked at what I see in the volunteer fire companies. Don't get me wrong, it is commendable what these guys do for no pay ... you don't see me running into a burning building or pulling bloodied bodies out of car wrecks for no pay!! But good god, some of the ones I have seen turn out for calls in my neighborhood I wonder if there should be a second ambulance on standby for when these very seriously overweight first responders keel over from a heart attack.

I work in a school and we have officers from the local constabulary assigned to our building. There's one of two of the regular officers who would probably make good candidates for a calendar, the rest of them ... man, I hope they don't have to chase someone.

My dear friend is a fireman. He is one of the best looking guys I know. I kid him and say what is the point of being that good looking...like over kill. LOL. He is in a crowded job market here and I always tell him be sure they see your face and build. They will hire you for their calender alone. They do tend to be a good looking group of men in that career as far as I can see.

I totally agree. The irony of people in emergency services being obese is inescapable. I suppose the stress of their lives makes them overeat; that would be understandable in a sense. Still, it can be tough if other depend on an obese person to save them.
I look at American society and despair; how did we get to a point where so many people are so fat? It's because we market all kinds of crap and our culture has evolved ( or devolved) into one of such ease that we don't do physical labor any more.
That animated movie "Wall-E" a couple of years ago pegged it. In it, fat people are in some kind of space station and all they do is sit in chairs, eat fast food, drink sodas, and watch tv. It's a real indictment of American culture.

On more important issues (!), I believe all firemen should be required to wear jockstraps to work, and to change in the firehouse so every one of them gets a good glimpse at his buds.
