Let's see....cardio pulmonary ability test? That's a guess. I think i would do better than some who I see constantly smoking at the meetings.

LOL, ya giving up the smokes is a must. The days of sitting around the firehouse smoking are pretty much gone.

Have a great day, be safe,

I thought I was gonna die. When I didn't, I kinda wished I had. And that was the practice...plenty of work to do.
