What fitness program can one do to pass the physical

The firefighter test is all about endurance. Get a weighted vest and hit the stairmaster. Get to a point where you can do that for 10 minutes at 60 steps per minute without touching the railings. The CPAT only has you on the stairmaster for 3 minutes but you need some gas in the tank for the rest of the shit you have to do after.

>>76276689
can confirm. you live and die by your ability to climb stairs

This has to just be for cities. Have you ever seen a firefighter in the rural US?

A lot of municipalities are in a financial crisis because of firefighters who sit around doing nothing and then retire and suck up a pension after decades of doing nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if the job gets scrapped within the next 10 years.

>>76276689
My cpat had the stairs at the end. That was like 5 years ago tho

>doesnt tell us what's on the physical
>expects everyone to tell him how to train for it
you are a dumb nigger. Image depending on you in an emergency.

>>76276809
Yeah just let buildings burn down

>>76276934
given that everything gets built as a shitty prefab nowadays that might be cheaper

>>76276608 (OP)
wear heavy shit and constantly climb stairs

>>76276934
Fires are very rare, thanks to safety measures. A volunteer firefighter system makes far more sense.

>>76277087
yeah sure. now volunteer yourself as an example.

very soft conversation
what happened to this place?

>>76276809
agreed, i had a firefighter tell me he only went to 2 fire his entire life, worked for the same municipality over 40 years, what aufkcing joke, how can he beliebe to be a firefighter? its like saying im a boxer because i did 1 fight 60 years ago

>>76276608 (OP)
those picture make no sense, go to your firehouse, you will se most firefighter are old fat man, or old men with grey hair, they hardly stay young and fit

>>76276608 (OP)
It’s a nepotism thing so that doesn’t even matter, but then again I live in Southern California. Firefighters come and shop at my local grocery store and I have never seen one who isn’t gigantic. One was even some chubby zoomer but he was really tall.

I love CalFires planes

firefighters are the ultimate fraud douchebags who larp like they are heores but in reality are in 1 housefire in their entire career on average and spend all their time sucking off the taxpayers dime to sit around

>Thread full of larpers
Honestly the tests are pretty fucking easy and job is pretty cush because of how regular the downtime is but you need to be ready to change on a dime. Also the likeliness of cancer sits in the back of your head all the time so that's not fun.

I want to hate firefighters but serious fires are not a joke at all in the least bit. Glad someone values their life that little because I don’t.

>>76276802
no, they just let houses burn there because it would take a long time for the fire trucks to get out to the boonies anyway

>>76276809
In many places in yurop firefighters are mostly (if not entirely) volunteers.

>>76278577
Many places in yuropoor don't build their homes with plywood

Firefire fag here (dirty volley). Career guys need to be in shape. Fires are a small percentage of our runs but they require immense endurance and strength. The rest of our calls are medical (easy and boring) and motor vehicle accident (can be easy bit can also be very demanding and dangerous). So do a lot of endurance work and make sure you can move your body well. Also turnout gear is hot and does not breath so get used to high heat and 35 to 50lbs of gear. If you go volunteer most of your calls are hurry up and wait but once you get a big one make sure you are fit so your not one of the guys who dies from a heart attack.

Agreed, the CPAT for most departments out side of big cities is a joke. Women can pass it so it's not a great indicator of fitness.

>>76277087
>Fires are very rare, thanks to safety measures
who the fuck do you guys think enforces the safety measures? Firefighters.
>cholera is very rare thanks to safety measures

They give the fire marshal job to the fat firefighters who can no longer into stairs

>>76278577
The "volunteers" are still salaried with a pretty good wage. This to bypass the boomer union fake jobs.

Yeah firefighters rarely fight fires but I see them doing EMT shit all the time. So you should probably practice farmer's carrying for hauling fatties on stretchers.

>>76276608 (OP)
the first test you have to pass is the "are you 6' 3" or taller?" exam.

>>76279342
There's no fucking reason for fire fags to show up for medical emergencies and 90% of accidents. Your chef is goosing his call numbers to keep you niggers looking busy.

>>76276608 (OP)
My chad cousin is a firefighter who looks vaguely like me, but is taller, has friends, and recently married his hot girlfriend/wife who makes like $200k a year and is absolutely in love with him. I envy him greatly.

>>76276608 (OP)
Where are you? I'm in the UK and they didn't want me because I'm not a woman or Pakistani; but theres a dumpy woman at my gym who can barely lift above female starter weights and she's a firefighter. So I assume the physical over here is almost nonexistent.

>>76278577
That’s the way it is in my area of burgerstan

>>76279693
No, you are a fucking retard
>>76281970
Medical sure. At MVAs we act as defence and blockers for the ambo jockies.
