Did your department take part in the 2026 Safety Stand Down?

If your fire or EMS department embraced this year's FITNESS: Fit to Serve, Fit for Life theme, we'd love to hear about it! Share how your department promoted firefighter health and wellness, inspired positive change, or made fitness a priority during Safety Stand Down.

Your success story could be featured on the Safety Stand Down website and inspire departments across the country to take action.

And remember, Safety Stand Down doesn't end when the week is over. Keep the momentum going by using the free resources, tools, and activity ideas throughout the year to build a healthier, stronger department.
