    I think it's good they do a practice CPAT test for women, because 90% of women who think they can do the job, actually can't do the job..The test will give them just a taste of how physically demanding the job is. Having said that, I've worked with many female firefighters who were in shape, were great firefighters, and put the work in to do the job.

    What a great, inspiring interview. I mean them are some beautiful strong women up there I hope my daughter grows up one and become something of that nature. For the ladies that have the kids I didn’t hear anything about a father being involved but I applaud them for not making any excuses. I am a father that’s pursuing a career in fire and I no longer am with my child’s mother’s. The sense of not being there sucks but I do my best to be present when I am there. Once I’m able to sign that contract I know it’ll change my life and my kids and it will definitely be worth the struggle!

      It is harder than it looks. You may be able to complete the evolutions on their own, but most people have a hard time recovering from the stairs AND continuing the course. Ultimately, it isn't that hard if you're prepared.

      @@UFOologyYT This would have been easier, mine was a county test called the BPAT. I consisted of a 1 1/2 mile run in under 15 minutes, shortly after that you do the course. You wear a full scba tank. climb a big tower of stairs twice, then you do everything in the cpat except for the crawl and hose pull. But for the sledgehammer part you hit a tire 20 times. That 1/2 miles though of running before doing all of this really gets you.

    Hello, I want to improve my fitness because I will be a firefighter. What are the training tips for me as a firefighter? How many weights do you use in your training and what are the standards approved by you? Thank you.

    • @williampape3810
      @williampape3810 4 місяці тому

      3-4 times a week you should be lifting weights. Depending on ur body composition you should also become accustomed to cardio. While the job doesn’t involve running, the weight added by equipment and tools will tire you out arguably quicker than if you were to run. And of course diet is important if you eat crap your body will not be fueled for the exertion
