Firefighter training can be intense. It’s not for everyone. Enter the worm tube and see if you have what it takes. This is an excerpt from “A Firefighter’s Journey”, a documentary film about the fire academy experience. It’s as close to real firefighting as you can get.

I just did this today on my last day of recruit school. It was intense. We actually did it in the dark on stairs going up and down. However, it wasn’t as long so probably a wash. Definitely a ball-buster.
