GET READY FOR JUNE ➡ FIREFIGHTER SAFETY STAND DOWN

The TCFP 🔸Health and Wellness Committee🔸 proudly supports the IAFC Safety Stand Down initiative in June 2026, recognizing it as a vital opportunity to strengthen a culture of safety, health, and operational readiness throughout the fire service. This initiative closely aligns with the Committee’s mission to promote the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of Texas firefighters through proactive education and meaningful engagement at every level.

By emphasizing training, awareness, and open dialogue, Safety Stand Down advances our shared commitment to prioritizing firefighter wellness—both on and off duty.

The 2026 theme, FITNESS, underscores the importance of total firefighter readiness, with each day dedicated to a different dimension of fitness, including physical conditioning, mental resilience, nutrition, and recovery. These daily focus areas provide departments with practical tools and resources to support their personnel. The theme also aligns closely with the Committee’s ongoing initiatives, including sleep health, nutrition, cardiac health, hormone regulation, physical fitness, mental health, cancer awareness and support, and more.

The Texas Commission on Fire Protection will be hosting a virtual NFPA 1850 Informational Session on June 4th at 10:00 A.M. to support compliance and awareness of NFPA 1850 requirements. Continuing Education (CE) credit will be available for this session; additional details will be provided soon.
