well i had my annual fit for duty test this afternoon. carried a highrise pack 21/2" hose up 4 flights of stairs, drop that then pull a 21/2" hose roll up to the forth floor, walk back down 4 flights, to the hammer slide that is 60lbs on this slide you hit with a rubber sledge hammer(16 hits) to move it 5' then walk 30 feet to a charged 13/4" hoseline and pull it 100' shoot water, then move on to the dummy drag 180lbs and pull it 50' timed 5min. 20 seconds i guess its not bad at age 46, i just wanted to tell my friends here at iboats i made it, now i must get in my favorite Lt. chair and pass out!

"ANY" women able to do that?????????????????<br /><br />I feel bad for you guys having to hire them anyway. Like they could haul your b*tt out of a burning building. Women dont belong in the fire hall.
