À propos de cet audio

Welcome to the VDFP Podcast! In this episode, host Chief Jamey Brads and facilitator Sandra Parker spotlight the life-saving importance of health screenings in the fire service. Special guest Mike Musser, a veteran VDFP adjunct instructor, shares his powerful personal story of how a VDFP 1582 physical uncovered hidden health risks—and quite possibly saved his life.

You’ll hear firsthand how the program, which partners with LifeScan, is making a difference for firefighters and instructors across Virginia, and why overcoming reluctance to screening is so vital for long-term wellness. Whether you’re an old hand or new to the fire service, this episode is packed with practical insights on taking charge of your health and supporting a safer, stronger fire service community.
