I was kind of surprised by the results of this study.  Does FDNY publish and/or track data along these lines? If so, are the results similar etc?

Duh....someone is always going to get hurt when doing PT, firefighter or a not a firefighter.

I agree with Dean-O. 85% of our EMS calls at work are a direct result of military personnel doing PT. And we can always tell when it's close to or is their PT test time. The number of calls increase significantly. Guess it's a good thing for our run numbers, though! lol
