Firefighter Expectations

What fitness expectations do you think the general public has about firefighters? I think they have very high expectations, like all firefighters could be calendar models.

Anyway, whenever I'm in a slump and not motivated to workout I always go back and read this . I do believe a firefighter loses the right to be unfit. We owe it to our citizens we serve, our firefighter brothers and sisters and most importantly to our families at home.
