Washington, D.C. – The NVFC Heart-Healthy Firefighter program has released another tool to help America’s fire and emergency services live a healthier lifestyle. The new publication, titled “Face the Facts: NVFC Heart-Healthy Resource Guide,” provides life-saving information on coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, fitness, nutrition, cholesterol, smoking cessation and more.

“The online guide is an awareness tool the fire service can use to reduce the number of fatalities from heart attacks and other health-related issues,” said NVFC Chairman Philip C. Stittleburg. “The NVFC, our corporate partners, and the U.S. Fire Administration have made a commitment to reduce firefighter deaths, now each firefighter must make their own personal commitment to better themselves.”
