Firefighter career

Hi everyone, glad to be back

I'm not sure if it's the right time to freak out but I will try to lowly boast myself here

If I'm lucky, I will soon face a fracture in my life. My application to Firefighter duty was approved. So I had to get lots of medical benchmarks. However final med analys results will be ready at the end of this week.

If my health wount fail me this means half way completed.

Physical readiness is also a strong factor in this duty, so I already got the physical requirements and started visiting a gym with coach supervision. I have to get in shape till the end of this July when exams will take place.

If I'll pass the exams I will then have to study for 9 months theory and practice. After that: I"LL BE READY FOR ACTIVE DUTY

It's going to be a long way of reaching my destiny but I feel it's worth of trying!

I recommend carrying heavy objects long distances as part of your physical workout. I believe you will be handed a mass of firefighting hose to carry as part of your physical and perhaps said hose up the ladder also. Get comfortable with heights, the hook and ladder just might be in that test!

Good Luck Sir!

That's a highly respectable, honourable job indeed, and I pay you tribute for choosing it. Different to military and police, you (as well as anyone serving in the rescue and SAR field) also join a profession that is hard to be abused by the few for ideological or political reasons.

Chapeau! I wish you confidence and success whereever your choice may lead you (and a cold German beer whenever your mission is over).
