What's involved in the specialist interview then mate? More interviews and tests?

Basically yeah for firefighter its lots of physical tests that firefighter would do

e.g. hose running (the worst one)
climbing ladders
claustraphobia tests

etc

then another interview with a serving ff.

Bit like the PGAC then?

You feeling fit, rather you than me running upand dowm ladders! lol

Its the hose running thats the worst mate.

Although I do have one to practice with so that helps!

Besides I get the feeling that over the next 4 years you may be doing a fair bit more Phys than me
