Participants may also be moving objects in excess of 100 lbs., climbing ladders, crawling and wearing firefighter gear (including air masks and breathing apparatuses). There may be exposure to heights, tight spaces, live fire and elevated temperatures. All physical exercises are optional and while a medical physical is not required, any person that may have physical limitations interfering with the performance of such activities, such as respiratory ailments (e.g. asthma and similar conditions) or back or joint injuries, should consult their physician before participating in the Citizen’s Fire Academy.
