The operational activities performed by the military firefighter are of high intensity requiring adequate physical fitness. In this context, to investigate physical activity practice regarding physical performance is important. In addition, few studies have explored the quality of life of these military personnel.  Objective: To examine the association of habitual physical activity level, physical fitness and quality of life in a military fire company.  Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study. The sample consisted of 30 military firefighters from a Minas Gerais corporation. Physical fitness was assessed with the Physical Fitness Test (PFT), applied by the Military Fire Brigade of Minas Gerais (MFBMG) in 2016. The assessment of the habitual level of physical activity was performed using the Baecke questionnaire. Quality of life was assessed by SF-36. The normality of the data distribution was tested by the Shapiro Wilk test. Correlation was tested by the Pearson correlation coefficient. All analyzes with a 95% confidence level.  Results: There was a significant correlation (P<0.05) of habitual physical activity level with physical fitness (r=0.41) and with the following domains of quality of life: functional capacity (r=0.35), vitality (r=0.35), social aspects (r=0.37) and mental health (r=0.63). Performance in PFT was associated with a psychological quality of life score (r=0.37).  Conclusion: Higher levels of habitual physical activity were associated with greater physical fitness in military firefighters. Furthermore, level of habitual physical activity showed stronger correlation with quality of life than physical fitness.
