this is insane
SO i was looking at LCCs website to figure out what all i need ot be a firefighter. and i had no idea the kind of stuff you have to do. they have like.. a 7 page physical form to be filled out by a doctor.. and after all the classes you have to be able to do this:
the form says... physical training consisting of running, situps, pushups etc.
carrying heavy weights including hose, vent fans, 150 lb. dummies.
climbing 100 foot ladders, confined space entry.
Extensive use of self contained breathing apparatus.
entry into and working in encapsulating suits and
similar forms of physical exertion
basically it said running about.. probably be able to run about 5 miles.. it said be able to lift, pull, or drag 185 pounds while wearing the 50 pound suits..
its gonna be alot of work, and i hve a year to get into that good of shape. so i really really need to start working on it i guess.
Im gonna get a gym membership pretty soon im assuming and im gonna start working out everyday.
lets see how this works guys!
