Relevance. Currently, the number of disasters of various origins is not decreasing, and the need to improve and maintain the optimal level of physical fitness and psychoemotional stability of personnel in the divisions of the federal fire service of the EMERCOM of Russia remains relevant. This is due to a decrease in individual indicators of the firefighter's physical condition, taking into account personal susceptibility to progressive professional stresses, vital threats, as well as the need to perform official tasks in extreme conditions with a lack of time. The aim of the study was to characterize the level of physical fitness of firefighters from among the personnel of the 12th squad of the Federal fire Service in the Krasnodar Territory.
