Pieman Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 So I just got home now, out of the 20 people who took the MA FireFighter Physical Abilities Test I was one of 6 who passed. It was easily the hardest thing I have ever done and my lungs feel like they are about to burst and I'm in more pain than ever before. Hi 5!

Pieman Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Throughout the entire thing I needed to wear a 30lb weighted vest. First I had to stay on a stairmaster on high for 3 minutes. Then I had to move ladders and hoist a 40 foot ladder. Then a had to drag a hose around an obstacle course with a 50" ceiling. Then I had to swing a sledge hammer and move a heavy piece of steel 10". Then I had to naviagte a completely blacked out maze which was around 100 degrees farenheit. Then I had to drag a 160lb through an obstacle course with a 30" ceiling. Finally I had to do a lift with a hook and get as many reps as possible. I did better than everyone else in my group on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
