Now that I'm off work and not typing from my phone, I'll post some more details.
I've reached the 2nd stage of the hiring process for the local fire department, which is the the agility test. The agility test consists of the following:
Wall Jump
Jump a 4ft wall, a 6ft wall, run around some cones, jump 6ft wall, jump 4ft wall.
The walls are spaced about 6ft apart. Cones are 15ft away.
Ladder Climb
Climb a 50ft aerial fire truck ladder, ring a bell at the top, climb back down
Hose Drag
Drag/Pull a fully charge 3in fire hose 50ft
Stairs
Run up 3 flights of stairs and back down
Hose Pull
Pull fully charged 2in fire hose up 3 stories. (rope tied to hose, pulling using a pully)
Dummy Drag
Drag a 175lbs dummy 50ft
Run
Run 1/2 mile
Everything has a time limit, and not only do you have to do it under the time limit, you have to beat the other 99 people that passed the 1st part (written test. out of 773, I was ranked 41). Only hiring 25 people
Well, this is tomorrow morning, so I'll let you know how it goes.
Oh yeah, I have already been training for the past several months, for those that remember, I did the 911 fitness challenge earlier this year.
