I am a candidate for the Fire Dept here in Philadelphia. I still have to get cleared for my vision problems but hopeful that I will make the cut. I have been working out to try prepare for the academy. Does anyone have any suggestions for making the academy training easier.

Cardio cardio cardio. Alot of people already have the physical strength to complete most of the tasks but not the endurance to do them.

Using a weighted vest (a bookbag with weights in it is good to) and run stairs,hills, etc. Also do some endurance runs and some quick sprints.

Some circuit training would also help. You know do an excersise run to a spot do another one and repeat for about 10 mins and thats one set.

Check out the book Firefighters Workout by Mike Stefano it should give you some good stuff.
