  Mr. Conteras, 

  I am currently working on my final senior project/ thesis and wanted to get in contact with you to ask about your experience working with the fire department and see if you could possibly provide me with more insight and stats that you recorded while working with the department and FMS. 

  Thank you,

  Tiffany

  Mr. Conteras,

  I am an Athletic Trainer and my husband is a firefighter in Joplin, MO.  I have personally seen the disparity of care, lack of injury prevention strategies, and lack of fitness initiatives for their firefighters.  I am currently finishing up my masters and I was wanting to create a possible business plan for a local fire department that included injury prevention, performance enhancement, and injury rehabilitation based on movement principles. I am unsure as to where to start and was wondering if you have some suggestions or literature I can read to help me in this endeavor.

  Thank you for your time,

  Marisa Foltz

  Mr. Conteras, I am a trainer based in North Carolina and have been working sporadically with my local Town Fire Department. The main obstacle has been the lack of interest in self care from a majority of the employees. Management want to mandate a fitness program and I have an opportunity to make a difference. Would you be willing to have a phone conversation with me to help give me some direction on how to make a start? The screen is the way to approach this but any insight would be greatly appreciated as I feel your endorsement would mean a lot. Thanks, Jackie Jackiebritfit@gmail.com
