This is one of my favorite classes that I have taken in my 18 years with the department. All of the subjects were useful for daily life and the in field.

WORKSHOPS
In-depth Fire & EMS nutrition training that turns the foundations into practical strategies for the job. Help members fuel their shifts, build realistic habits, and take the next step toward better performance.
4- and 6-hour workshops.
Turn Nutrition Knowledge Into Action
Your members know nutrition matters. The challenge is making it work through interrupted meals, long shifts, fatigue, and the demands of the fireground. A workshop gives them time to connect the evidence to their own routines and work through practical solutions with a dietitian who understands the job.
Go deeper than a single presentation. Build a shared foundation, make a realistic plan, and give peer fitness teams and department leaders practical ways to support members after the workshop.

Foundations
Take fireground performance to the next level with nutrition strategies that optimize energy and prevent hydration-related injuries. Learn what and when to eat while minimizing exposures on the fireground.

This is not your run-of-the-mill nutrition course. Megan understands the first responder lifestyle very well. From the start of the class, it was very evident that she knew fire department operations and culture. Her fire service lingo quickly prompted buy in from the firefighters. Everyone was very intrigued and walked away with great notes from class. As a bonus she provided a great QR code full of resources. Fueling Fire is well worth the investment and should make it through the budget process at other departments.Read the original Google review
