AIR DATE: Into the Fire – Firefighter Fitness

CBC’s The Nature of Things is airing, “Into the Fire”, on Sunday, November 5, 2017 at 8 PM on CBC-TV.

Episode Description (courtesy of CBC):
“It’s a tough, demanding job. Battling wildfires in the bush requires the stamina of an athlete. Carrying thirty-kilogram hoses into the bush can burn up to 5000 calories a day.

That’s why fire rangers in northern Ontario have teamed up with Laurentian University researchers in an innovative project monitoring stress, fatigue and fitness to protect them against injury.”
