Wash. Admin. Code § 296-811-20010 - Physical capability of brigade members

You must make sure brigade members who are assigned to fight interior structural fires are physically capable of doing this activity.

Do not permit employees with known physical limitations that can be reasonably identified, such as heart disease or seizure disorder, to participate in structural firefighting activities unless the employee has been released by a physician to do so.

Note:

Not all brigade members need to be physically capable of fighting interior structural fires. Brigade members who are not physically capable of fighting interior structural fires may be assigned to other brigade duties that match their physical capabilities, such as pump operation or fire prevention inspection.
