It is extremley hard. I once heard that for every Firefighter EMT opening your competing against approximatley 200 applicants and for every Firefighter Paramedic opening your going up against approximatley 15 applicants.

Also deploying REHAB and FAST/RIT in the same area will limit confusion as to where a firefighter/civilian should/can be brought if quick treatment or just simple REHAB is needed. I'd also have some FAST/RIT capable units in staging in the event that conditions deteriorate and mulitple firefighters have problems or they are needed to put to work.

My "Firefighter Workout" Routine 09-06-2009, 04:38 PM Here is my "Firefighter Workout" routine that I do at least once a week, which complements with my weekly strength training/cardio workouts/stair training
With one firefighter on a 1-3/4 it's about 161gpm@50n/p and60lb r/f (7/8tip), 1 firefighter can maneuver that at a crouch position. If you compared that reaction force to a fog, you would find that your gpm would be cut to 224gpm and 112gpm respectively.
