Bunker Gear

The bunker gear, which can also be referred to as turnout gear, is composed of boots, trousers and a jacket. This gear is made of a fire-retardant material that keeps firefighters warm, dry and protected from smoke and flames. The coat weighs 15 pounds and the boots and trousers can weigh as much as 30 pounds.

Mask and Air Pack

Firefighters need to have a constant supply of oxygen, even in smoke-filled quarters. A firefighter usually wears a SABC (self-contained breathing aparatus) consisting of an oxygen tank (worn on the back) and a mask that covers his face and delivers the oxygen through a tube. This gear weighs around 30 pounds.
Supplemental Gear
The 60 or 70 pounds that firefighters carry with them does not include supplemental gear which they often use, such as a fire ax or a fire hose. This can add several more pounds to a firefighter's burden.

thanks for the info

We never trained with anything more than 75. You really have to be careful training with weight vests.... they are very hard on your back and knees. There are alot of departments that dont use weight vest's at all anymore.
Work on overall stength and conditioning. Really really work on your cardio!
And depending on what the physical test for your state is like.... HAND GRIP strength is very important!

hm ive got pretty good endurance/stamina, i don't usually lift weights
(i should get on that)

i need to start running some more, and working out its to cold to run anymore outside, its 30 degree here and its staying that way, shortness of breath sucks when you run

i have a treadmill but it is broken, it runs but cannot work under my weight, its slows down to a walk when ever i step on it

i have some weights/bar i could bench but i have no bench press station
