Selected hormonal and immunological responses to strenuous live-fire firefighting drills
Article Abstract:
The effects of strenuous live-fire firefighting drills on selected immune, hormonal, and psychological variables are determined and the extent to which these variables recover following 90 min of recovery period are documented. The results demonstrate the magnitude of the physiological and psychological disruption following strenuous firefighting activity and suggest that immune function may be altered following such activity.

Selected physiological and psychological responses to live-fire drills in different configurations of firefighting gear
Article Abstract:
The physiological and psychological reactions of firefighters to live-fire drills while wearing different configurations of firefighting gear were compared. The firemen wore the National Fire Protection Agency's 1500 mandated clothing configuration and the hip boot turn-out gear. Firefighting activity using the 1500 gear configuration resulted to longer performance time, higher thermal strain during prolonged incidences, greater psychological stress and higher variability in reaction times compared with those using the hip-boot gear configuration.
