Heart attacks are the number one killer of firefighters. At Station 91, all firefighters are encouraged to train up to 80 minutes per day on the fitness equipment.

Cardio Training Equipment

Firefighters are responsible for shopping for and preparing the meals they eat during their 24-hour shift.

Specialty apparatus like the aerial ladder truck provide firefighters quick access to buildings that are taller than two stories. Firefighters use the ladder to get to the roof to check for hot spots and vent the fire to allow hot gases to escape. The apparatus bay at Station 91 also houses a medic, engine, grass fighter, boat, the Battalion Chief's vehicle, and a back up ladder truck.

Equipment Bay

Every Washington Township firefighter is provided with their own personal protective equipment. Reflective stripes on the coat and other parts of the gear enable firefighters to be seen in smoke and under low light conditions.

Bunker Gear Storage

Time permitting, firefighters can kick their feet up and read or watch TV in the evenings or in between emergency runs.

Living Area

Firefighters must use resistance and weight training to maintain their strength for the demands of the job.

The Captain in charge of this station has an office from which to perform his/her administrative duties and to sleep. The hide-away bed allows this room to be used as a bedroom at night.
