Which category from NFPA 1582 indicates a firefighter is Fit for Duty?

The correct category indicating that a firefighter is Fit for Duty according to NFPA 1582 is "B = Be there." This designation signifies that the individual fully meets the physical and medical requirements necessary to perform their duties as a firefighter. Being classified as "Be there" suggests that the firefighter is not only present but also capable of engaging in all required activities associated with their role without any restrictions.

In the context of the other categories, "A = Absent" clearly indicates that the firefighter is not available for duty, while "C = Cautiously Present" and "D = Carefully Assigned" suggest that the firefighter may have limitations or need specific monitoring or adjustments to their duties due to medical considerations. These options indicate varying levels of fitness and readiness that do not align with being fully Fit for Duty, which is represented by the "B" classification.
