“I cannot adequately put into words the profound impact of O2X’s efforts. They are saving the lives of our members. Their mission is to have our firefighters finish their careers as strong as they started at Drill School. O2X education and training comes from decades of learning while under extreme stress, disruptive sleep cycles, chronic pain and injuries, poor nutrition, and inefficient methods of physical training. They understand our culture, job, and lifestyle. Their relationship and understanding of Union partnership and integration is true collaboration. They are part of our family! You can see their passion for helping our members and their families. We’re honored to have them aligned with us and lucky to have a top tier organization watching our back while we do our duties for our cities, states, and nation.”
