AB Firefighters  tackle  a  wide  variety  of  challenging  operational  scenarios  and  suffer  significant  stress  and  physiological  demands  during  the  discharge  of  their  duties.1  Because  the  majority  of  modern  fire  department  emergency  calls  are  for  EMS,  it  is  possible  for  physicians  to  be  less  familiar  with  the  fire  and  rescue  operations  of  the  department  they  work  with.  EMS  physicians  must  be  aware  of  the  unique  operational  challenges  of  firefighting  and  the  potential  role  that  the  physician  plays  on  the  fire  ground  and  their  duties  as  the  fire  department  physician.
