Firefighters Physical

I took part in the Firefighters Physical test today at Cowcaddens Fire Station.

It involved a whole lot of running about in rather awkward firefighters attire...not an easy task. Especially the boots and the huge cumbersome gloves!


The tests involved reeling out and carrying hoses. Carrying weights set distances. Ladder climbing. Body dragging. Crawling round a big cage with a blackout mask on. Assembling bits of equipment...with gloves on!

It was a real experience and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The canteen did a fab bacon butty too.

I left with arms like jelly though.
