This is a great resource, excellent work

[@michaelngethe6381]

Great one, have learnt several techniques ie,lifting, carrying, descending and ascending also leg lock related to ladders.

[@CReedxOptics1]

Well done to everybody who has done the test

[@muff.t2780]

Did my BA training in the seventies!! Burning pallets in the basement. A truly irrespirable atmosphere! In the middle of a particularly gruelling exercise our instructor came up behind me and turned my BA set off!! I tried to turn it back on ,he slapped my hand away. Had to unplug my mask and connect to my partners "second man attachment". Health and Safety would have a fit today!!! I learned an important lesson. Go figure!!

[@jake-e-boi6700]

Haha! Wow... proper firemen in them days

[@malcolmsmith6380]

Certain parts are timed what are the passing times and are all tests consecutive and to be done in a set time or do you stop for an amount of time between tests. I want to try and test myself to see if I would pass so would like to know more.

[@tinkataylorbaileybobingsgi4639]

Just done one of these sets of tests.. The only tip I can give is get into cross fit it will help more than any other type of training

[@Megacowmilker353]

My older brother passed the test. He said if anything the hardest test was the Maths, mechanical and verbal.

[@keplermission4947]

Anything is better than the lowest of the low, Glenrothes, Cadham in Fife, Scotland. They put out a rose garden composter with no visible smoke. They broke down a gate on a private house to do it. evoboatsfm.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_15.html Wow! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn3Eq6yJqdaeabM

[@SphynxStudios]

100% agree with this. The online tests were INSANELY hard.

[@RandomGuy-jq3jz]

4:53 I would have killed to do a mayday crawl like this. Ours went through wood boxes filled with stuff like drywall, wire, concrete, and insulation. Also we had to do this with full SCBA and on air to pass our national test.

[@TCFan30]

What about crawling through 20 plus metre concrete pipes with bends?

[@elisj80]

its no longer the bleep test as the fitness test, they do the chester step test for it

[@benpaynter]

+elis jones I've got a practical test with Beds F&R in Jan and that's got a bleep test in it so maybe only certain brigades? Think we do the Chester test at a later date after interviews

[@jamessteele6216]

Imaltman how many American fire fighters die per year compared British fire fighter

[@CounterNic]

Do the hoses in your firetruck have the zip ties around them like in the video?

[@Joshcradz]

No the ones in the video are purely for training!

[@mattymobbs5125]

So you can't do the job if you suffer with bad back some times

[@nigel22347]

1970s carry downs. No poxy harnesses or HSE!

[@Scouser37]

I'm th8nking of applying to join the fire service. Any tips on how to achieve this level of fitness. I think of myself to be fit but want to be fitter so I can have a chance.

[@dawson6677]

Get your self up to military standard of fitness

[@Scouser37]

+Dawson667 thanks for that. I'll start soon as

[@paulhayles]

Dinah Soares the key is the ladder lift strength and General cardio fitness

[@MrKingOthman]

There's also a bleep test.

[@garrl007]

+MrKingOthman Bleep test is in the Fitness test. Not the Physical. :)

Before 999 calls comes in you need lives your voices outside ok

[@ImaITman]

This is good that they are using real world examples to test their cadets, however the american fire service is much more rigorous than this.

[@DaveTaste]

ImaITman like cutting holes in a roof whilst standing in the space that's about to be created?

[@46514651]

This is a series of tests to go on the course not to qualify. However, I agree nothing really challenging.

[@rich3222]

45kg dummy ,used to be 90 kg ,who do you know that weighs 45 kg and 3 guesses why they changed it ,and whi would like to be stuck in a building while being attempted to be rescued if you are a normal sized person like me at 115kg let alone 150kg

[@Sandro_-jo3wh]

There's no way you're a normal sized person at 115kg

[@sitdownshutup8813]

Rich 115kg is not normal trust me

[@46514651]

It used to be 12 Stone - that's 76 kgs.

[@0121benjamin]
