Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 162
The personal condition is a combination of being mentally and physically prepared to perform the job at hand. If you are distracted by situations and circumstances, you are placing yourself, and your brothers or sisters, in danger. If you are not physically fit enough to maintain the metabolic output required to perform the job, you are placing yourself, and your brothers or sisters, in danger. A deficiency in either state of readiness could result in a fireground injury or line of duty death.
