How tough is firefighter training?

Answer by  jimcro55 (813)

The academy for the FDNY is a long and grueling process, in which you have to study, train, learn, and workout for a long time every day for a long time period. Once you are through this phase, and you are selected to be a firefighter, the training is not too tough.

Firefighter training can be very tough, depending on your physical shape at the time. If you are fit, then the exercise won't be overwhelming, but it can be tough mentally as well. It takes long hours and lots of determination to complete the program.

Fire fighter training normally is a mixture of book learning, physical training at training facilities, and possibly on the job training. I'd imagine it is pretty tough.

Firefighting is a very competitive career, for every job opening there are tens to hundreds of applicants. The training is tough but it's the only way to get the job.
